# Mobile-friendly check

> Emulates a Moto G4 to detect tap targets <44px, unreadable font sizes, horizontal scroll, and missing viewport meta — the mobile-first indexing killers.

## Quick answer

 Every crawl runs a headless mobile emulation and grades tap-target size, font size, viewport, and horizontal overflow.

## What it checks

- <meta name="viewport"> present with width=device-width

- Tap targets ≥44×44px with adequate spacing

- Base font size ≥16px (prevents iOS zoom)

- No horizontal scroll at 360px

- Images sized responsively

## Where to find it in Lemwatch

 **Site details → Mobile.**

## How to fix

- Add <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> .

- Bump button padding to 12px+ so tap targets hit 44px.

- Set base font-size to 16px.

- Use max-width: 100% on images and iframes.

- Re-run the check.

## FAQ

### Why Moto G4?

 It matches Google's mobile-first crawler profile.

### Does responsive design pass automatically?

 Usually — but plugin widgets and third-party embeds are the common offenders.
