From July 1, Google announced that all new websites will be ranked on search based on how well it is designed for mobile devices. It’s called Mobile-first indexing. <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Although this update will preliminarily affect the new sites that are launched from July 1, the old sites will get a grace period of couple months to join the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google wrote \u201cmobile-first indexing will be enabled by default for all new, previously unknown to Google Search, websites starting July 1, 2019. It\u2019s fantastic to see that new websites are now generally showing users \u2013 and search engines \u2013 the same content on both mobile and desktop devices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only new sites will be indexed using mobile-first indexing by default. Older sites not yet mobile friendly, will continue to be indexed by desktop-first indexing, until they are ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor older websites, we\u2019ll continue monitoring and evaluating pages for their readiness for mobile first indexing, and will notify them through Search Console once they\u2019re seen as being ready,\u201d the spokesperson from Google said.<\/div>
