Google Search Console - Mobile Usability Issue
4 replies · Started by David on March 2, 2022
Hi guys,
I'm having an annoying issue with a WordPress post that keeps giving a mobile usability error. I'm aware that this tool/Google service gives false positives all the time. We occasionally get the error flagged for random posts in GSC, usually a quick resubmit and it goes away. However in this case I simply cannot get it to pass the test before I submit it to Google.
I've tried everything (disabled cloudflare and all my caching plugins etc), however it still fails. Any ideas (link below) as it's really frustrating and I can't see to find the issue. The Google bot rendered is for some reason rendering the desktop version it seems.
Can you see if it passes for you?
Thanks for the help
Hi David,
What test did you do that gives out this error?
And what other information do you have from the test?
Let me know :)
Hi Ying,
Link below thanks.
So your site has these 2 errors:
1. text too small to read.
2. clickable element too close together.
Can you read this article first to see if it's helpful?

Hi
To add to the conversation:
@David when do the test in search console take a look at the loaded resources:
Url Ispection -> View Crawled page -> More Info -> Page Resources
Maybe Google bot fail to fecht css files and then throw these error as false positives
