Google to announce to visitors if your website is going to function properly on their devices.

Starting today Google will now indicate to searchers when their algorithms detect pages that may not work on their devices.

A common annoyance for web users is when websites require browser technologies that are not supported by their device. When users access such pages, they may see nothing but a blank space or miss out a large portion of the page's contents.

For example, Adobe Flash is not supported on iOS devices or on Android versions 4.1 and higher, and a page whose contents are mostly Flash may be noted like this:

This may be a real issue, for webmaster that are on legacy platforms that take an Act of God to make changes. And may be heading for lower session counts.  This is a major component of proper +SEO.  And can be a devastating event especially for the Automotive Industry and the platforms the Car Dealers are forced to use.  The Manufacturer's "Preferred Providers" dictate the websites, in which, most of the Dealers are operating on and some of them are "Old Technology", or Limited Forward Taught".   A great reason to promote more effective +Automotive +Search Engine Optimization.  Get off the "Preferred Providers" basic templates, and customize your destiny.
Just my rant...
