Overview and Features
Do you want to know how your site currently performing on mobile devices? Are your site performs well when viewed on mobile devices? Are all these thoughts recur your mind and for that, you are looking for a tool to measure your site’s performance then mobiReady is your answer. It is a tool for marketers, developers and designers to test their websites’ performance on mobile devices and it is free of cost. You don’t have to pay any fees for subscription or anything like that.
By using it, you get detailed analysis and technical results and recommendations and you can see how your site appears on multiple devices. You can instantly visualize a site on a range of devices. What makes it unique is that it enables you quickly to see how your site looks to users. It’s not a hard and fast rule, all you have to do is just enter the URL and visualize how your site looks on different devices from desktops to mobiles. It gives you an idea of how your site looks and how to improve its interface.
You can view all your improvements and benchmark your web presence in the competitive market to stay ahead of your competitors.
Use mobiReady to test multiple sizes of mobile devices at once. Compare your site to the top 1000 Alexa sites to see how “mobile ready” it is. MobiReady also gives very specific recommendations so you can see what needs improvement.
It also provides a mobiReady score between 1 and 5, as well as a detailed listing of CSS elements and whether each is a pass, minor fail or major fail. Another useful feature is a chart which benchmarks your site against the top 1000 sites on Alexa.
MobiReady is much like Gomez, only, it is slightly more elaborate than it. Also based on online testing, this tool requires you to enter your webpage address, on which it performs a variety of compatibility tests such as Page Test, Site Test, Markup Test and so on. At the end of the test, this tool provides you a comprehensive results page, giving you the level of compliance with dotMobi, device emulators, code checks, HTTP tests and also a detailed error report for you to gain a better understanding.
The MobiReady one checks your page for valid markup, but it does much more. There are 25 tests including page and image size, use of the mobile friendly features such as accesskeys and default input methods, and avoidance of mobile un-friendly elements like frames, nested tables and pop ups. I find the validator very useful even though I don’t agree with all the .mobi recommendations. I don’t think that external stylesheets should be mandatory for example, as embedded stylesheets generally produce faster page loads with today’s browsers. You don’t have to be a dev.mobi member or even have a .mobi site to use the validator so give it a try and see if your site is MobiReady.
Instant Site Visualization on a Range of Devices
The nice thing about mobiReady is the ability to quickly see how a site looks to visitors. Simply enter a URL to visualize how a site performs across desktop, and a range of different devices from desktop, high, mid and low end mobile devices. This quickly gives you a visual picture of how your website looks across a spectrum of devices, and perhaps more importantly, to instantly check how your site appears to users on different devices. Your Web Analytics should tell you what the break out of devices accessing your site is, so check there first and then set your priorities.

Benchmarking your Site. How Does your Site Compare?
As part of the relaunch of mobiReady, it now includes the ability to benchmark your site against a basket of the top 1000 websites as measured by Alexa. A series of tests run in the background to give your web presence a score on a scale of 1- 5 and a position relative to the scores of 1000 Alexa sites as measured by mobiReady. This is an excellent way to find out how you measure up. Signed up users can track their results over time with access to historical test results stored in the system. So you can periodically use mobiReady to check on progress, or record test results for your specific site or your competitor’s sites.
