How can I optimize my store for mobile users?
Topic summary
A user asked about optimizing their store for mobile users in the context of Google Shopping.
Key Points:
- Google Shopping offers a mobile-specific attribute, but it’s rarely used in practice
- Most e-commerce platforms (like Shopify) use responsive themes that automatically adapt to different screen sizes and resolutions
- The mobile attribute is therefore unnecessary for most stores
Recommended Action:
- Focus on improving mobile page load speed instead
- Use Google’s PageSpeed testing tool (pagespeed.web.dev) to analyze and optimize product landing pages for mobile performance
The discussion remains open with no further follow-up from the original poster.
Hello Avsh, thank you for the question. With Google Shopping there is no direct input related to mobile devices, other than the attribute https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/12472641
However, this is rarely used, and the reason is that most themes in Shopify and pretty much any other platform are designed so that the UI adepts based on screen device or resolution. And most cases it’s the resolution.
So this attribute is not used.
So what I recommend you look at is how to speed up your product landing page for mobile users. You can use the Pagespeed testing tool to check: https://pagespeed.web.dev/
