These terms govern individual use of MobileViewer, a free tool for viewing public websites at different widths and reading technical findings about them.
What happens when you check a URL
Opening a live preview shows the public page at the width you select. Changing the viewport, rotating it or opening a separate window keeps it a preview. Choose Yes, loaded fine or Take an in-depth look to request a public report. MobileViewer may open a recently saved report or run a new check when one is due.
Anyone can open a published report, and search engines may index it. By requesting a report, you ask us to check the public URL and publish the resulting observations. New analyses are limited to 3 per IP per hour and 5 per IP per UTC day. Previewing a site and reading reports do not use that analysis allowance.
Snapshots, saved reports and rechecks
Reports may contain the public URL, viewport, check dates, website identifiers, technical observations and snapshots of what was visible at the time. A later request may refresh the current report. Earlier observations or snapshots can remain in history. Changes to the original page do not automatically change a saved copy.
When checking a change you have made to a site, compare the report’s update time with the time you published the change. A recent existing report may still be shown while a fresh check is unavailable or has yet to run.
Individual, non-commercial use
Use MobileViewer for individual, non-commercial checks of public pages you are entitled to inspect. Keep private links, passwords, login-protected pages, access tokens and confidential information out of submissions. Respect the destination’s access controls and the rights of people whose material appears there.
- Do not use automated tools to submit checks in bulk or scrape, mirror or collect reports, images or the report directory at scale.
- Do not bypass limits, use proxies or coordinated requests to evade restrictions, or try to reach private networks or restricted pages through MobileViewer.
- Do not use the service for resale, commercial data harvesting, spam, harassment, security probing without authorisation or other abusive activity.
We may restrict access, remove reports or block future checks where we identify abuse, a credible rights concern or a security issue.
Copyright and website-owner requests
Third-party pages, logos, text and other materials shown in a snapshot remain subject to their owners’ rights. MobileViewer claims no ownership of those materials. Viewing a report does not grant permission to republish a captured page or reuse its content. Any reuse requires permission or another basis allowed by law.
If you own the website or affected material, or are authorised to act for its owner, email [email protected]. Include the report link, original URL or domain, the material at issue, your authority to make the request and the action you want. You can request correction, removal of a report or snapshot, a block on future checks, or more than one of these. We may ask for verification before acting. See the privacy and removal process.
How to read the findings
Findings are observations from a particular check. Websites may serve different content by location, browser or time of day. Some block access or return a challenge. A missing result leaves that check unanswered. A browser viewport is a layout test, and a reputation result is one signal. Use the original sources and your own testing for decisions that matter.
Availability and changes to these terms
Check coverage varies with the website and available sources. We may update or suspend features, and will publish revisions to these terms here with their update date. Mandatory rights under applicable law continue to apply.
