[Resolved] Warnings from Google Search Console on Mobile Usability

[Tom]

Hi,

I put my new GeneratePress live yesterday and woke up this morning to a set of Google Search Console Warnings affecting multiple pages.

Page is not mobile friendly:

1) Viewport not set
2) Text too small to read
3) Clickable elements too close together
4) Content wider than screen

I had noticed yesterday on my mobile that there is padding on the left of the blog posts but no visible padding on the right, and that I had to scroll left and right on some of the entries to read them.

I have barely changed anything from the default GP settings, so would really appreciate a few pointers as to how to fix this.

Thank you,

Tom

Hi there,

I really wouldn’t worry about those Google warnings.

David provided some explanations here:

I had noticed yesterday on my mobile that there is padding on the left of the blog posts but no visible padding on the right, and that I had to scroll left and right on some of the entries to read them.

I checked the first few posts on mobile but didn’t see the issue. Is there a specific post I should be looking at?

Let me know 🙂

It seems to have fixed itself now Leo thanks, and sorry for bothering you with this.
