Google has completed its six-year process of moving sites to mobile-first indexing, with the last batch of eligible sites now moved over. However, a small number of sites that do not work on mobile will be crawled with desktop Googlebot going forward. New sites will be indexed over mobile-first indexing by default. If your site has not yet been moved to mobile-first indexing, it may never be moved.
Google has completed the final batch of switching sites from desktop-first indexing to mobile-first indexing, according to John Mueller of Google. The process began over six years ago, and the last remaining sites that have not been switched are those that do not work with mobile user-agents at all. Mueller stated that a desktop-formatted site that can be seen on mobile is not problematic for indexing. The switch to mobile-first indexing is important for SEO and web development.
