Google (and others) have automatic scrappers that check if the colors are different enough to be readable.
They certainly can check if the content is visible on a specific screen width, that horizontal scrollbars do not appear and that the touch event is properly handled etc etc etc.
- z3t4 12y agoToday I received another letter for a site that has a separate mobile page. It appears that the Google bot is unable to find the mobile version. I highly doubt Google check CSS to find colors - they probably just check for <font> tags. Google and other search engines are incredibly easy to hack. Do you seriously think they render every site they crawl!? That said, Google is still the best search engine. They have just become Too greedy, forcing Webmasters into design paradigms. Just because they saw an increase in ad revenue doing so. Witch probably had nothing to do with the design change - people probably just spent a bit more on adwords after receiving the warning.
