How To Identify Mobile Errors In Google Search Console

You can check mobile usability errors in Google Search Console by clicking on 'Mobile Usability' in the left navigation. Then click on each usability error to identify each error page.

If you don’t have a Search Console account you need to open one using your Gmail account, then submit and verify your site. The usability errors should display immediately once the site is added.
