More Websites Viewed on Mobile than Desktop Last Month
Digital technologies have become more advanced, and with this, the industry has had to adapt to the new user behaviours with new algorithms and updates.
After the Google mobile friendly update, ‘mobilegeddon’ in April 2016, in which mobile searches overtook desktop, it has been essential for businesses to have a responsive website, in order to prevent businesses falling behind to competitors.
In October last month, more webpages were viewed on mobile and tablet devices than desktop than ever before, highlighting the change in user behaviour and the importance for a fully responsive website.
Mobile and Tablet Overtake Desktop Page Views
This signifies that user behaviour has changed and that people are choosing to use mobiles and tablets for their preferred browsers.
Worldwide Shipments of PC's
To put this into perspective, manufactures are still shipping 4x the amount of smartphones as they are laptops and desktops a year.

A responsive website is now seen as standard by Google. If you do not have a responsive website, you could be putting your business at a disadvantage against your competitors. The question now is ‘how do I do this?’
