What is PAGE mode?
PAGE mode allows you to test a single page at a time. You enter a URL, hit the 'GO' button and wait for your results. This is the basic ready.mobi v1.0 functionality.
What is SITE mode?
SITE mode allows you to test a whole site in one go. To test a site, you set up a site 'crawler' and it will test all the pages it finds in your site.
What is the 'CRAWLERS' tab?
This page lists all your crawlers (see next). You can manage and monitor your crawlers from this page.
What is a crawler?
A ready.mobi crawler will start at a URL that you give it, and will test all the pages it finds within that site. When you log into the system for the first time this list will be empty - so you will need to create a crawler to use the system. To create a new crawler, simply click the 'ADD CRAWLER' button. You now need to fill in a form which configures your site crawler. The only field you really need to fill in here is the start URL. This is the first URL that the crawler will visit. The crawler will look for links in your markup and visit and test those links if they are on the same site as the start URL.
What is the 'RECENT CRAWLS' tab?
Under this tab you will find a list of the recent crawls that your crawlers have performed. The dropdown menu on this page contains a list of all your crawlers. You can use this list to filter the crawls shown on this page.
If you click on the name of a crawl it will bring you to the 'PAGES' tab
What is the 'PAGES' tab?
The pages tab lists all the pages that have been tested by your site crawlers. The list can be filtered by crawler and crawl (using the dropdown menus). Clicking the grey '+'to the left of a row will expand the view for that row. Once expanded you may view information about the page that was tested. Displayed information includes test results, response headers, emulation, XML report, page content, and ready.mobi data charts.
What is that coloured bar thing?
This is a representation of how well your site as a whole is performing. A colour is assigned to each score (1 red - 5 green). Mostly 5s will result in a green bar, and mosty 1s will result in red bar.
How do I login?
Use your mobiForge account to login. If you don't have a mobiForge account, go get one!
Do I need to login?
No, but then you don't get to use any of the new features. You can still use ready.mobi in 'PAGE' mode - i.e. it allows you to test one page at a time, as with the previous version of ready.mobi
