Google rendering mobile to the right
-
So the website is displaying correctly in mobile devices and online tools. However, when using Google Page Speed Insights mobile or fetch as mobile in Search Console the page always loads as if it has moved 50% of the screen to the right - so whitespace on the left then 50% of the page in on the right side.
I've been ignoring this. The site loads fine in devices and i've put it down to a glitch in Google, but at the same time it's been bugging me. Has anyone else seen this and should I ignore?

Hi Kristen, I sent you a PM.

This is the thing, it passes as mobile friendly but the screenshot shows the page 80% to the right. All physical devices tested load the page ok. My worry is that googlebot may not favour the page if this is it's perception of a true view.

Hi Michael,
Have you figured out what the problem is? I'd suggest that you check it out using the Google Mobile-Friendliness Testing Tool (https://www.google.co.uk/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/) - if it passes that test and looks alright on actual devices, I wouldn't worry too much about it as it means Google should give you credit for being mobile-optimized.
I think the other advice already given here is good as well.

Hi Michael,
I use http://quirktools.com/screenfly/ If you look good there on the different devices, you are good imo. I also regularly check GA to see how the different devices score.
Good luck! Regards,
Tymen

Will it make any seo impact if there is not any Content available in Mobile responsive site
If we will not show our existing content(Available for desktop views) on product listing page in Mobile responsive site, will it make any difference/impact from seo point of view? Mostly people don't read content in product listing pages and we place content mostly for seo point of view. So intentionaly we don't want to show our content in mobile view bcz it may distract users. As per my knowledge google using same ranking algorithm for both desktop and mobile. So I want to know will it make any impact from ranking and other seo factors?

Page Layout Updates and Mobile Pages with Ads
I have been trying to do some research on the Page Layout Algorithm and Top Heavy Ads and much of what I read does not mention about mobile pages as apposed to desktop. I am curious if the Page Layout updates can be effected by mobile pages as well and if there is any good articles on this subject. Also is this Algorithm been incorporated into its regular algorithm or do we still have to wait for refreshes to see the impact? Cesar

How do websites display product attributes listed with their meta descriptions in Google SEPRs?
If you take a look at this SERP for "boys costumes" you can see that Amazon, HalloweenExpress and Target all have attributes listed such as "Products 1-25 of 500" or Kids Legolas _Costume. _ These are getting blended with their meta descriptions. How are they doing this? Anyone see any lifts in ranking or CTR by doing this? Thank you!

Is the www and non www isue realy seen by Google as duplicate content?
I realy don't understand how Google could posibly devaluate a link because the site displays the same content with www and without www. I mean did somebody recently saw a devaluation of a domain because of this isue? I somehow can not belive this because it is the standard when geting a new webspace that the new website display the same content with and without www. Is a redirect realy necessary?
