Google has announced the final implementation of the mobile-first indexing and has started migrating sites that follow the best practices for mobile-first indexing.

Google has started notifying sites that are migrating to mobile-first indexing via Search Console.

Google’s Fan Shang has shared the following tips for the webmasters:

  • “Mobile-indexing is rolling out more broadly. Being indexed this way has no ranking advantage and operates independently from our mobile-friendly assessment.
  • Having mobile-friendly content is still helpful for those looking at ways to perform better in mobile search results.
  • Having fast-loading content is still helpful for those looking at ways to perform better for mobile and desktop users.
  • As always, ranking uses many factors. We may show content to users that’s not mobile-friendly or that is slow loading if our many other signals determine it is the most relevant content to show”.
