    Default 2 Pages are mobile friendly

    I have used NOF 2015 and 2 of my pages are testing and displaying as mobile friendly.
    I have no idea why but if you can see why It would be great.
    There are other similar pages same setup but Mr Google knocks them back.
    I am hoping to be able to get a couple more pages up while we wait for fix .
    Regards,
    Ken

    You have a <viewport> meta tag. It's incomplete as you have no arguments in it so it will have no effect, but it seems that at the moment all Google requires to report a site as 'mobile friendly.' A couple of other things that have helped the appearance on small viewport devices:
    1. You have large type in a fairly narrow column. This helps your copy to be legible on a mobile device.
    2. You don't have graphics on the page so graphic resizing is not required.

    Your pages (at least, the one I looked at) do display ok on a mobile device because of these two points and for no other reason.

    Ride your good luck while Google is thinking the way it is. And place the following arguments in your viewport meta tag:
    <meta name='viewport' content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1>

    The viewport you gave me throws whole site out.
    Any more ideas?

    If it throws the whole page out, remove the viewport tag. It's really only for responsive sites. If you want your site to be responsive you have to write media queries, set breakpoiints for each viewport size, create image variants, set object IDs and specificy the order in which they are to appear at each breakpoint. In other words, create a responsive site. NoF can't do this at the moment and just adding a little bit won't make any difference.

    We're lucky from an SE point of view that Google seems, at the moment, to be accepting the presence of a viewport meta tag as evidence of mobile friendliness. It won't last.
