Google thinks there are problems with mobile version

    Hello! I own a website with 32 posts.

    However, if I search “site:x.ro”, only 15 posts are shown. I have found that the other that aren’t shown are seen incorrectly by Google.

    If I run any of the links that aren’t shown on Google Search Console, it tells me that the link is indexed and live. However, if I press the “Test live address” button, there are 2 errors: content is too wide and elements are too close together.

    Also, if I check the screenshot provided by Google, it is very wrong. This is a screenshot of how Google sees it – https://postimg.cc/TpRnCGSy

    And this is how it looks in reality – https://postimg.cc/943MgYMx

    As you can see, there are no issues with mobile version, but Google refuses to index over half of my posts because it sees them wrong.

    You can probably understand this is incredibly frustrating. I also reached out for support to theme support, hosting support and WP Rocket, but they weren’t able to solve the issue.

    If you have any ideas to how I can solve it, please leave a reply.

    Google apparently can’t (always) load the page’s stylesheets. This indicates a speed problem when delivering your web page to the browser. Google offers with PageSpeed a tool to test this:
    https://pagespeed.web.dev/report?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcesaicumpar.ro%2F&form_factor=mobile

    There you can see that some things should be optimized for mobile. If you can’t do much about your theme, you should have a look at the possibilities for optimization with various plugins: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/optimization/

    Hello, @threadi, thank you for your reply.

    The scores are 67 on mobile and 96 on desktop

    Are these good enough?

    Yes and no. Both values should be higher than 80, desktop is usually higher, but mobile is much more important as Google rates websites according to “mobile first”. For mobile, look at the messages below. There Google also roughly describes possible solutions. You should follow them – if necessary with the help of your theme support.

    Please also have a look at the above-mentioned article on optimization – it is important to optimize your WordPress as well in order to increase the values for pagespeed.
