Website Looks Broken on Phones? How to Fix Mobile Layout Problems

Most mobile problems come from an older theme that isn’t responsive, fixed-width elements, oversized images or pop-ups that cover the page. Test on a real phone, list what breaks, and fix the theme or the specific elements causing it.

Questions

Does Google care if my site works on phones?

Yes. Google mainly uses the mobile version of your site to index and rank it.

Why does my site look fine on my computer but not on my phone?

The layout uses fixed sizes, or a theme that doesn’t adapt to small screens.
