How to Make WordPress Mobile Friendly: A Guide for Blog Owners

In this day and age, it’s vital that you make your WordPress mobile friendly. In 2016, for the first time, surfing the web using mobile devices surpassed desktops. Mobile traffic now makes up a whopping 51.3 percent of all Internet traffic.

That’s huge.

If you haven’t done that already, take a look at your website and ensure it’s mobile-friendly; otherwise, you’ll lose out on thousands of potential customers.

In light of this, we’ve got some handy tips for you. Let’s dive in!



1. Download a Mobile-Friendly Theme

Nowadays, most WordPress themes are mobile-friendly. These kinds of designs are known as ‘responsive.’ Put simply, they adjust whatever size screen is being used.

If you fall into that unfortunate category of people who don’t have a mobile-friendly theme, there are a few things you can do:

Make sure your theme is up to date. There’s a good chance the latest version of your theme is responsive, so be sure to download the newest version.

Install a plugin that will help you craft a mobile version of your site, such as WP Mobile Edition or JetPack.

However, the latter option can be time-consuming and limit your ability to customize your site. In light of this, it’s probably better just to bite the bullet and choose a new design.

Your Plugins Also Need to Be Responsive

You’d be shocked at how many people neglect this aspect.

For mobile users to have a good experience on your site, you need plugins that boast a responsive design.
