Real-Time Search Algorithms

Gary said that new algorithm runs in real-time, so you can make necessary changes to your site anytime and let Google pick it, this way your site will start getting benefit from the new mobile-friendly algorithm.

By real-time means Google crawls the page again. It will immediately benefit and immediately be labeled as mobile-friendly. Slow pages will hardly be indexed, so it is important to go mobile friendly.


Still Google did not clarify that here real time means that when Google crawl it or real time means when it hit the search query. So I assume that it is when Google crawls and indexes page. It also depend upon how often Google crawls and indexes your web pages. You need make all your pages mobile friendly before April 21st date.

Runs On A Page-By-Page Basis

Gary said that algorithm runs on a page-by-page basis. That means if half of your pages are mobile friendly and half are not, then only those pages will get benefit which are mobile friendly.

This is important news as now webmasters know how this algorithm going to work on their pages.

Going mobile-friendly for pages also help to increase mobile user of your site.
