MOBILE AUDIT 2016 KEY INSIGHTS1. Mobile-ready: Most retail and finance

brands have a mobile presence 2. Apps are a key part of their mobile

strategies, although app development is lagging behind browser sites

3. Functionality: Mobile sites are just as developed as desktop sites

4. Speed Matters: Mobile searches have overtaken desktop and the faster your page speed the higher you rank on google.

Use Google’s page speed tool to check.

better on a smartphone*
