Google began its mobile-first indexing initiative over 5 years and eight months in the past, in November 2016. However we nonetheless have websites which can be being migrated over from Google desktop-first indexing to mobile-first indexing in 2022.

Sure, final November, Google eliminated any deadline that they had for the necessary mobile-first indexing change over. As a reminder in Might 201 we reported that cell first indexing change was not accomplished but after which in March we reported that Google was going emigrate during the last batch of websites to cell first indexing quickly. This was after transferring the mobile-first indexing deadline from September 2020 to March 2021. Nicely, Google continues to be not accomplished transferring some websites to mobile-first indexing, whilst we cross the second half of 2022.

Valentin Pletzer obtained a discover for a web site he has verified in Google Search Console that it was simply moved to mobile-first listed. He shared this on Twitter:

Glenn Gabe added “The change to mobile-first indexing continues… Word, I nonetheless have some purchasers on desktop-based indexing so hopefully, they get moved quickly. Additionally be aware, it would not affect rankings, however can be good for these websites to enter 2022 indexing-wise.”

I do marvel what share of websites in Google’s index are moved over to mobile-first indexing. In March 2020, Google mentioned about 70% of websites have been moved however we’ve got not had an replace on that determine in a very long time.
