In their continued effort to make the web a more mobile-friendly place, Google has released a new mobile-friendly testing tool. Officially announced last week, the new tool can be accessed at: search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly.

The new testing tool features a cleaner, more spacious design than its predecessor, and has received widespread praise for its improved speed.

In Google’s announcement, Yaniv Loewenstein, a member of Google’s Search Console team, wrote “The updated tool provides us with room to continue to improve on its functionality, and over time, we expect it to replace the previous Mobile Friendly Test. Additionally, of course, this tool also works well on your smartphone, if you need to double-check something there!”
