Screen resolution of Googlebot mobile?
- by Baumr
Does Googlebot-Mobile have a viewport resolution it sends across? If so, what is it?
It's a general question with broad relevance, but I am asking with reference to responsive design: particularly when serving different image resolution to different viewports via JavaScript.
While Googlebot has its issues with JavaScript, it will become better with time. Thus, it would be good to know which version of the same image would be crawled (since most responsive image JS solutions base their logic on resolution).
