How to Check Whether a List of Websites Has a Mobile Viewport Tag
To check a list of websites for mobile readiness, read the viewport meta tag on each home page. The bulk mobile friendly checker does it for up to 100 sites (500 after a free Google sign-in) and labels each row, with the tag's content.
It checks one tag. It is not a layout or usability test.
The by-hand way
View the page source and search for viewport. In a browser, open view-source on the home page and look for <meta name="viewport" ...>. A tag containing width=device-width is the standard responsive setup. You can also open the site on a phone and judge it by eye.
That is a minute per site, which is fine for five competitors and not for a list of prospects.
Step 1: paste the websites
Paste one site or a list, one per line. Emails and URLs work too. You can also upload a CSV. No account is needed for up to 100 a run; sign in with Google for up to 500.
Step 2: run the check
Each home page is requested once, over HTTPS and then HTTP, five sites at a time. The tool reads the page source and runs no JavaScript.
Step 3: read the result
| Result | What it means | Flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Responsive viewport tag | width=device-width is present | No |
| Responsive, zoom blocked | device-width, but visitors cannot zoom | Yes |
| Viewport without device-width | A tag exists but no device-width | Yes |
| Fixed-width viewport | A set width such as a number of pixels | Yes |
| No viewport tag | None in the home page | Yes |
Each row shows the tag's content and the evidence. Without width=device-width a phone typically shows a desktop-width page shrunk down; see MDN's viewport meta tag guide and web.dev on responsive design basics.
Why check it across a list
- Agencies treat a missing tag as a sign an old site needs a rebuild.
- Lead-list owners use it as one hint that a site is no longer maintained.
- Researchers compare competitors' sites quickly.

What this check cannot do
- It reads one meta tag, not a layout or usability test.
- A tag added by JavaScript is not seen.
- Only the home page is read.
- The limit is 100 sites a run without an account and 500 signed in.
If the company is still alive, check the contact emails
A site that answers does not mean a given mailbox exists. Once you know which companies are still around, check the addresses on your list on the verify page: the first 100 email checks are free with a Google sign-in, no card. Each comes back valid, risky or invalid with a reason, and nothing is sent to anyone on the list. To confirm every site still answers first, run the list through the bulk website status checker. For larger or recurring lists, see bulk email verification, list cleaning and pricing.

Common questions
What is the viewport meta tag?
A tag in the page head that tells a phone how wide to draw the page. Without width=device-width a phone typically shows a desktop-width page shrunk down.
How do I check if a website is mobile friendly in bulk?
Read each home page's viewport meta tag. A bulk mobile friendly checker requests each home page once and reports whether the tag is present, responsive, fixed width or blocks zoom.
Does the checker prove a site works on phones?
No. The tag is one signal that a page was built for phones. A page can have it and still be hard to use.
What does Zoom blocked mean?
The tag contains user-scalable=no or maximum-scale=1, which stops visitors zooming.
Why might a mobile-ready site show No viewport tag?
A tag added by JavaScript is not in the page source the checker reads.
Check your list before you send
Real mailbox checks over SMTP, and nothing is sent to the address. Sign in with Google and your first 100 email checks are free, no card. Plans for bigger lists are on the pricing page.
