FAQ

A) Google has developed a new set of standards for what they describe as "Mobile Friendly".  These standards are for smart phones mainly.  As of the 21st of this month they are going to start using their new ranking algorithms to rank search results that are queried using smart phones.  Any website built before 2014 will not be compliant with their new standards.  This does not mean that the site cannot be viewed on a smart phone or tablet.  What is unclear at this point is what effects this will have on search rankings by Google. 

The solution to bring any site powered by iNET RealTime up to Google’s new mobile friendly standards is to upgrade to the latest version 7.3.5.  This version of RealTime automatically creates a mobile website in addition to the existing website.  The mobile website and regular website are both managed by the same RealTime interface.  The new system determines what device the visitor is using and displays the compatible files.  Example: if you visit the website using an iPhone or Android smartphone it will serve the mobile website, but if you visit the site using an iPad, Android tablet, Mac computer or PC it will serve the full website.  If you have any other questions concerning this issue give us a call.

Below is are links to Google’s announcements dealing with this.
