Are you thinking about updating and optimizing your WordPress site for mobile, but not sure how to go about it?

The good news is that this is very easy to do. However, there are a few different methods to achieve this, and some are not as efficient as others.

You may even currently have a site that 'technically' loads on mobile, but you're not aware of some of the issues you may be experiencing or the improvements you can make with just a few clicks.

(Spoiler alert, but the #1 most used WordPress theme in the world currently doesn't meet Google's guidelines).

But don't worry, because I'm not just going to share with you:

How to check if these methods are affecting your site
The 4 ways that don't quite work
The best option to solve this
And how to set this correctly

But we're also going to do all of this for free, in about 15 minutes, step by step. So grab a drink and make sure you read along right away, because there's something I haven't told you yet.
