In this article we will talk about how verification is carried out mobile version site, its convenience, readability and correct display.
You can test your site for ease of display on mobile devices using various web services. In particular, this service from Google allows you to adequately assess the literacy of your mobile layout.
Recently Google company stated that sites that do not meet the requirements of mobile layout will be pessimized in searches carried out using mobile devices. This algorithm is already working and some sites that did not bother to display on mobile platforms were indeed omitted from search results for mobile devices.
Even if your website is three times convenient for desktop platforms, you need to check the quality of the mobile layout, otherwise you will lose an impressive part of the traffic (the share of mobile platforms in search is growing rapidly every year), which means you will lose your customers. Therefore, you need to adapt your sites for mobile devices and check that sites are displayed correctly in mobile browsers.
Checking the quality of mobile layout using Google Chrome
For developers, Google has great tool to simulate mobile devices. This tool is built into Google browser Chrome. To access it you need to click F12 in the browser (go to developer mode) and click on the smartphone icon:
The page is converted to device switching mode, where you can select one of the popular mobile devices, network type (GPRS, 2G, 3G, 4G, etc.), and specify strict display parameters. This allows you to simulate the operation of the site on specific mobile devices. Available devices include different versions of iPad, iPad Mini, iPhone, BlackBerry, Google Nexus, HTC, LG, Nokia, Samsung Galaxy and some other popular devices.
By selecting a specific device, you can check the site for mobile device. For example, display home page Nubex website on iPad 3:
And on Samsung Galaxy S4:
Here you can not only see the display of the site on a particular device, but also fully work with the site, as if the necessary gadget is in front of you. Undoubtedly, this tool is simply irreplaceable when developing a mobile version of a site, but how your site will be displayed on real devices needs to be checked on real devices. This is especially important if you need to check the display of the site in “native” browsers (Safari - for iPad/iPhone, IE - for Windows Phone etc.).
We'll talk aboutAndroid.When surfing the web on your smartphones and tablets, many of you are probably annoyed by automatically showing mobile versions of sites or their adaptive design, which changes independently depending on the device screen.
Unfortunately, the same Google is now literally putting pressure on webmasters in terms of having a mobile version of the site, threatening to lower their ranking positions search results on smartphones for those who don't have it. However, taking into account the fact that smartphone screens are becoming larger and their resolution is increasing, for the most part I do not see the need to change the design depending on the device screen (small phone screens and WAP browsers are a thing of the past).
The big drawback of this scheme is the psychological discomfort of a person who sees from a tablet or smartphone a site that is completely different from the one he is used to reading from a PC or laptop. There is a need to “search” the desired button"(or, for example, the missing third column), irritation associated with this arises, because people are already spoiled by modern services that do literally everything for us. In this case, a person sees the reduced functionality of his favorite site, the absence of the usual menus in the right place, etc. You immediately feel the desire to go to the footer of the resource and click the “Full version” button or even close it and read something else.
There is an opinion that the most best design- the one that looks as good and comfortable as possible on most devices in an unchanged form for the eye. At least that's what I was striving for.
As a result, using the most common mobile browser for Android - GoogleChrome and seeing a page of a site that was clearly “truncated” in appearance, I constantly had to check the “Full version” box in “Settings”. Making this setting permanent turned out to beChrome is not possible. For some sites, showing " full version"is remembered, for others - not, for others (for example, MTS) it does not work at all. IN certain moment I've had enough of this. I had to look for an alternative.
Unfortunately, my favorite is desktop MozillaFirefox, which is so convenient to work on a PC with source code, in the mobile version I was disappointed - I didn’t like the scaling of fonts, and the system for disabling “mobile versions” in it is similar to Chrome and is not permanent.
BrowserOpera forAndroid. After downloading it to my smartphone, I finally decided this problem. First of all, we are not talking about Opera Mini, which, although it compresses traffic, is extremely poor in its implementation, because... does not understand many scripts and styles, distorting the usual design of modern sites. We are talking about full version mobile Opera. For those who want to save traffic and compress pictures, it also has a “Turbo” mode ( Opera Turbo), so just activate it in Settings. There you will also find the item we need:
Useragent: "Mobile Device" or "Desktop".
The default is “Mobile device”. Select “Desktop Computer”.
All, problem solved. Now Opera always emulates a desktop computer and mobile versions of sites on our smartphone or tablet, or their adaptation to the screens of portable devices no longer bothers us. We see full-fledged websites without reduced or hidden functionality. Fortunately, multitouch was invented a long time ago and we all already know how to use it.
Fortunately, the Opera browser suited me in other respects: a convenient “Application View” setting - “Phone”, “Classic” or “Tablet” configures the display of additional buttons and menus. Fonts are scaled as needed, pages look neat and readable.
The only pity is that I have not yet been able to choose a universal browser for myself, both for a desktop PC and a smartphone, so I cannot use a convenient system for synchronizing bookmarks, history, and the like.
It often happens that when opening the desired page through Safari on iPhone and iPad, users get access to the mobile version of the site, which is significantly different from the full one. In this case, you don’t have to start looking for a computer - Safari makes it easy to launch the full version of the site. We'll tell you how to access this function below.
Most large websites and blogs have adapted versions for mobile devices, however, not all of them have a button to go to the full version. Fortunately, Apple developers have taken care of the ability to force full versions of sites to open in Safari.
Step 1: Open Safari and go to the page whose full version you would like to see
Step 2. Wait until the site loads completely, then click on the page refresh icon
Step 3. In the window that opens, select “ Full version of the site»
In this simple way, you can open the full version of any site in Safari on iPhone and iPad, if, of course, you initially had a mobile version of the site. Recently, web developers have been creating adaptive website designs that automatically adapt to any device used and there is simply no need to open the full version of the site.
When you open your favorite social network Odnoklassniki on a mobile device in the browser, the mobile version of the site will automatically open. If you open it on a computer, the full version of the site will open. What if you need the full version of the site to open from your phone, and the mobile version from your computer? In fact, there is nothing complicated here; the Odnoklassniki developers made sure that users could choose for themselves how to use the version of the site.
Let's start with the case where you need to open the mobile version on your computer. On the right side of the page, click on your avatar, after which a small drop-down menu will appear where you need to select the “Help” section.
When the help page opens, scroll down to the bottom where you will see extra menu. There is a line in the menu “Mobile version”, click on it.
The mobile version of the site has been launched on the computer.
Now let's move on to the case when you need to run the full version from a phone or, say, a tablet. Everything here is also simple, but we should immediately note that this option will only work with the mobile version of the site; in the proprietary Odnoklassniki application it is not yet possible to switch to the full version.
Launch your browser, enter the address ok.ru and, if necessary, enter the username and password for your page. Then call up the menu and click on the “Full version” line.
Click "Go".
The full version of the site is downloaded on a smartphone.
Returning to the mobile version of the site is carried out using the method described in the first part of the article.
It happens that the mobile version of VKontakte opens, but you need to enter the full version (for computer, regular, web version). How to do it?
You cannot access the full version in the mobile app on your phone. It is best to use a browser on a computer, laptop, or tablet. But you can also use a browser on your phone (Safari, Chrome), but it will be very small and you will have to enlarge it. Here we talk about all the ways to log in to the full version, on all devices.
How to switch to the full version
If you are currently on mobile (m.vk.com), you can switch from mobile to full mode yourself:
How to open the full version of VK on a computer or tablet
Click "Computer version" in the left column of the menu, below (penultimate item):
How to open the full version of VK on your phone
Attention! For mobile application this advice does not apply (an application is a program installed on your phone with the “VK” icon). The full version can be opened in the mobile version site VK, which you access through a browser on your phone (for example, Chrome or Safari) at m.vk.com.
- Open the main menu in the mobile version ( button in the upper left corner in the form of three stripes).
- Scroll down if you can't see all the items.
- Click "Computer version".
You can also open the full version of VK simply by following the link (more on this later).
On a phone, the full version will look small, so you will have to move the image with your fingers to make it larger and get where you need it. But if there is no other device besides a smartphone at hand right now, this is a completely workable solution.
How to quickly open the full version of VKontakte
You can open the full version of VKontakte via home page"Entrance". Open it at vhod.ru, find In contact with and click there. You can connect your page using the button "Entrance"(you will need to give access permission) to always see if you have new messages and other events without going online. You can enter the full version of VK with one click on the rectangle "In contact with", and also quickly open messages, online friends, new comments, etc.
How to open the full version of VKontakte using the link
The full version of VKontakte can be opened directly using this link: Full version. The full version is also called “regular”, “normal”, “web version”, “computer”, “desktop”.
How can I make sure that the link opens the full version of VK, and not the mobile one?
Example.
Was https://m.vk.com/vhod_ru
It became https://vk.com/vhod_ru
In exactly the same way, you can correct the address in the browser address bar to open the full version of the same page you are on. You need to click on address bar, remove the letter m and the period at the beginning, and then press Enter on the keyboard (or button “Go”, “Open” in the browser itself).
Why do you need the full version of VK, why is it better than the mobile one?
Only in the full version are all the features of the site available that are not available in the mobile version or in phone applications. For example, creating a request for support agents. In addition, in the full version there are no restrictions when restoring access to the page and, in general, there are much fewer problems with this - especially with attaching photos and entering a confirmation code. It also makes it easier to understand the reasons for blocking a page and unblock it. Therefore, for such matters, we recommend always using the full version of the VKontakte website.
Why is the mobile version opening?
This usually happens because someone posted a link like m.vk.com...- this letter “m” at the beginning of the link takes you to the mobile version. It’s just that that person was using his mobile phone and copied such a link from himself. When other people click on it, they end up on mobile. It’s okay, because now you know how to access the full version of VKontakte!
Why doesn't something work in the full version?
Most often, if you have problems with the full version of the VKontakte website, it means you have problems with your browser. Clear temporary files, reinstall it, update or install another one.
