I’m serious, and promise, we don’t work for any of these companies. We just think some of these are likely to become your favorites, too.

1.  Mobile-Friendly Test  
“Now, with more than half of all internet traffic shopping from a mobile device, it is extremely important to make sure your website is primed for mobile viewing,” states Justin Smith, CEO of Outerbox, in this helpful article from earlier this year. Did you realize that, due to Google's search algorithm, mobile-friendliness also plays a crucial role in SEO ranking? Enter Google’s own Mobile Friendly Test tool to not only show you whether your site is optimized for smartphones and tablets, but also to give you helpful suggestions if it’s not up to par. There’s even a Page Loading Info feature that advises whether Google can properly access your page’s resources, and how to fix any issues in that area as well.
