Google began its mobile-first indexing initiative over 5 years and eight months in the past, in November 2016. However we nonetheless have websites which can be being migrated over from Google desktop-first indexing to mobile-first indexing in 2022.

Sure, final November, Google eliminated any deadline that they had for the obligatory mobile-first indexing swap over. As a reminder in Could 201 we reported that cellular first indexing swap was not executed but after which in March we reported that Google was going emigrate over the final batch of web sites to cellular first indexing quickly. This was after transferring the mobile-first indexing deadline from September 2020 to March 2021. Effectively, Google remains to be not executed transferring some websites to mobile-first indexing, at the same time as we go the second half of 2022.

Valentin Pletzer acquired a discover for a web site he has verified in Google Search Console that it was simply moved to mobile-first listed. He shared this on Twitter:

Glenn Gabe added “The swap to mobile-first indexing continues… Observe, I nonetheless have some shoppers on desktop-based indexing so hopefully, they get moved quickly. Additionally be aware, it does not impression rankings, however could be good for these websites to enter 2022 indexing-wise.”

I do marvel what share of web sites in Google’s index are moved over to mobile-first indexing. In March 2020, Google stated about 70% of web sites have been moved however we’ve not had an replace on that determine in a very long time.
