And now, after 6 months, it is here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">It all started with Google\u2019s introduction of the mobile-friendly algorithm update, which was also commonly referred to as the \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/searchengineland.com\/library\/google\/google-mobile-friendly-update\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\">mobilegeddon<\/span><\/a>\u201d. It made quite a fuss in the mobile search market, and some businesses also got hit by it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">On the other hand, <a href=\"http:\/\/searchengineland.com\/bing-will-roll-out-their-mobile-friendly-ranking-algorithm-in-the-upcoming-months-220799\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\">Bing announced its own mobile-friendly algorithm update<\/span><\/a>. However, they said that it won\u2019t be anything like the supposedly \u201cmobilegeddon\u201d, and the update will be more accommodating and gradual.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">Anyway, that was then.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">Today, it is all about the new mobile-friendliness testing tool by Bing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">Let\u2019s have a look at it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The New Mobile-Friendliness Testing Tool by Bing<\/h2>\n<p>The new tool by Bing evaluates a web page\u2019s mobile-friendliness on the basis of 5 different factors. These factors are listed below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The overall width of the page content<\/li>\n<li>Readability of text on the web page<\/li>\n<li>Viewport and Zoom control configuration<\/li>\n<li>Use of incompatible plugins<\/li>\n<li>Spacing of links and other elements on the page<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just like Google\u2019s mobile-friendly testing tool, Bing\u2019s version also gives you a final verdict whether your page is mobile-friendly or not.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the testing tool in action. As you can see, the presentation by Bing is done very neatly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bing-Mobile-Friendly-Testing-Tools.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4592\" src=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bing-Mobile-Friendly-Testing-Tools.png\" alt=\"Bing Mobile Friendly Testing Tools\" width=\"500\" height=\"429\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Our Verdict<\/h2>\n<p>As far as <em>accuracy<\/em> is concerned, we found that both Google\u2019s and Bing\u2019s mobile-friendly testing tool are very good.<\/p>\n<p>They provide you valuable feedback and pretty much pick on the exact same things. However, we found that Bing\u2019s new tool was slightly faster than Google\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Our verdict is that you can go with either of the two tools. Both of them are very good and very accurate. However, if you prefer a slightly better speed and good presentations, Bing\u2019s new mobile-friendliness testing tool would be a good choice for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since Bing started focusing on its own mobile-friendly algorithm, a mobile-friendliness testing tool was always on the cards.
