    Out of the bots robots.txt blocks google from seeing site as mobile friendly

    Hi Richard,

    Google released an update this week that makes mobile friendlyness of your site important in displaying of the search results.

    To test if your site is mobile friendly you can use this tool : https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/

    With the robots.txt that is generated out of the box the css and scripts folder are getting blocked from robots. This prevents Google from seeing the sites as mobile friendly.

    Can you update SEO Checker so these folders get excluded from the robots.txt file ?

    For people already using SEO Checker robots.txt file you can easily change the file.

    Go to Seo checker section. Than to Settings > Domain Settings.

    For each domain you can right click and choose "Edit robots.txt file". Remove the lines disallowing access to the css and scripts folder and save the file.

    This of course only applies if your scripts and css files are placed in these folders.

    Cheers,

    Dave

    Hi Dave,

    This is indeed scheduled for 1.9 (out soon). Also Clientdependency.axd will be included out of the box. Thanks for posting the work around.

    Best,

    Richard
