    Question SEO: "Viewport Not Set" Error with Google

    Sometimes Google will send me notifications that my website has a "Viewport not set" error. However, I use Xara Web Designer Premium 15, and I can see in the code that it is set as
    Code:
     <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    It appears well on mobile devices, and when I look in my Google Console, everything appears fine for the most part. This is an actual message from Google that I get via e-mail (and sometimes in Search Console it will show as an error for a day even though that code is always present). Can anyone tell me if I need to do something to stop getting this search engine error?

    Thanks!

    I wonder if this has to do with the pain in the iphone and ipad that I have been having. See the link.

    Hi Cookie,

    You posted your original question six month ago. Within 36 hours Behzad replied with a link to a fairly long thread re this possible connection. Until now you've not responded. Have you followed Behzad's link?

    I appreciated the reply and did read that long thread, but nothing seemed to apply to the issue I am having. This is not an Apple issue. My viewport is not set to a fixed width. Per the code I shared initially, my viewport is responsive and set to device-width. However, Google still sends me notifications stating my viewport is not set. Does anyone else have this issue? How can it be solved, please?

    Hi CM, I was just pointing out the link. As for your particular issue Xara is an Adaptive website generator NOT a Responsive website generator so possibly this is causing the Google error.

    Is this a big issue for you or just a niggly pia? Is your site an international corporate one or just a local business/service provider? Does your site rank in the first page of an expected search term? If so I'd say it's no big issue. If not perhaps you could say why this issue is a real problem effecting your sites SEO rather than just an 'error' reported by Google which you can spend far to many hours chasing down to no real effect.
