Google has a mobility test. https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/
I have two websites. jubileehealthplace.org passes the test fine.
jubileeonlinechurch.org does not pass.
The two are identical as far as I know. Have you seen this before and what might it mean?Thanks for any input.

Hello Jack,
I took a quick look through the site on my iPhone. I did notice the calendar on the Bible Reading Plan page appeared to be wider than the browser window. Having content that causes a horizontal scroll bar to appear is often a reason why sites don’t pass the mobility test.
You might try removing that temporarily and then testing again.
Let me know if I can help out.

The test results I see (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jubileeonlinechurch.org) seem to indicate that most of the resources for the site are not accessible to GoogleBot. If you look at the screenshot, it’s missing all of the external CSS and javascript. The CSS is what makes your site responsive.
They have a link to a resource page at https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/mobile-seo/common-mistakes/blocked-resources?hl=en-US&utm_source=MFT&utm_campaign=MFT&utm_medium=incoming-link to help out.

What is blocking that from happening. The other website (jubileehealthplace.org) works fine and are identical. Could there be s plugin problem? As far as I know I don’t have any control over anything that blocks googlebot.
I don’t want you to have to spend a lot of time on this because the website looks fine to the eye.

Jack,
The page that Google links to — https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/mobile-seo/common-mistakes/blocked-resources?hl=en-US&utm_source=MFT&utm_campaign=MFT&utm_medium=incoming-link indicates that it’s a file called robots.txt that’s in the root folder of your site on your server. That’s where you’ll want to take a look to see what the problem is. That page I linked to can show you how to check once you’ve made changes to see if the problem is fixed.
Have a great week,
Bill
