from time to time. I don't

Posted in: #301Redirect #Googlebot #Mobile #Seo

I have a responsive site that adjusts itself for mobile viewports. Google comes along and looks for /m/ or /mobile/ from time to time. I don't like the 404 errors, so I'm redirecting those URLs back to the base URL like so:

(.htaccess)
# Mobile pages Google is checking
RewriteRule ^m/$ / [L,R=301,NC]
RewriteRule ^mobile/$ / [L,R=301,NC]

Is this the right thing to do to let Google know my site is mobile-friendly?

Did you used to have those in your URI? If not, I don't understand why Google would be searching for them. If so, and recently, then I would redirect them.

Google does not determine mobile friendliness based on URIs. It does so based on your response to a mobile device, such as speed, size inside a mobile viewport, etc.
