A Third of Top Fundraising Charities Fail Google's Mobile-Friendly Test

One in three top charities' websites, including Oxfam, the Royal British Legion and British Red Cross, will fall down search rankings after failing Google's new mobile-friendly test.

Google started rolling out changes, which will mean that websites deemed to meet its mobile-friendly test will be tagged as such and appear more prominently in search results. Criteria for mobile friendliness includes text size, the amount of space between links and whether content fits across a mobile screen.

In a blog Google said the changes would have a "significant impact" on its search results.
