How the result is decided

  • PassIt contains width=device-width and allows zooming.
  • WarningNo width=device-width, or zoom is blocked with user-scalable=no or maximum-scale=1.
  • FailNo viewport tag.

Why it matters

Without it, phones render the page at desktop width and shrink it. Google indexes the mobile version of pages, and blocking zoom makes text hard to read for many people.

How to fix it

Add to the <head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

After the fix, open the page’s report and choose Run again to confirm it passes.
