    Default Errors with mobile usability

    Man can I use some help, or advise. I just checked on Google console today and notice I have 3 errors, but I'm not told what the pages are. I checked on my iPhone and everything looks good to me. Ive been trying to work this out for hours and I just don't know what to do at this point. Does anyone know how I can find the pages Google is talking about? I did go to HELP, but found nothing.

    Thanks,
    Buddy M.

    Log in to the console
    Select the correct site (if there is more then one)
    On the left select Mobile Usability
    In the main window pane choose the error tab (you might see error tab as well as valid tab)
    Scroll down, under details it should give an indication of the type of error

    By clicking the row that shows the error it should indicate what pages have those errors

    Could be text too small, clickable elements too close, viewport not set, etc

    Thank you, I corrected it, but I guess I have to wait awhile. Clickable items to close. Thanks again Rick,

    And don't be frustrated that the console may or may not update that it has been fixed for a while.

    They will do that when THEY are ready.

    It is worth checking you don't have issues but Google also has a habit of false positives as well. The most annoying one we had was due to a font issue because googlebot wasn't loading googlefonts.

    Gambling Domains: Small clear out of some of the domains we've been hoarding on Dan - see the list here. Prices negotiable, and willing to swap for decent links.

    To speed up the waiting, find that page on Google using "site:" and see if it still says under the meta description "your page is not mobile friendly," click on it, and it will instantly force Google mobile bots to visit your page.
    When the scan is complete and it says "your page is mobile friendly," go to your search console, enter the URL of your page, and then click the "Test Live URL" tab.Once it's done, click on "Request indexing".
