 * Hi,
 * Today I tested my website here :
    [https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly](https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly)
   and I noticed that my site failed the test.
 * When I switch off W3 Total Cache, I pass the same Google Mobile Friendly Test.
 * Do you have any idea what can cause this behaviour?
 * Grtz

 * Yeah, for that big Google hit coming on the 21st of April? Me too.
 * I’m having the same issue. I’ve been going through disabling plugins and it does
   seem disabling Total Cache “fixes” it, but that’s not good, because that’s what
   keeps things fast. Maybe it’s a single option?
 * Ok, I take that back. While disabling Total Cache seemed to improve things, after
   about 5 attempts with Total Cache disabled, I got it to happen once. So I don’t
   know what’s going on.

 * I just found something. Someone had a similar problem a month ago and described
   the following fix:
 * [http://bavotasan.com/2015/jetpack-mobile-googlebot/](http://bavotasan.com/2015/jetpack-mobile-googlebot/)
 * When I enable those boxes, I get the same successful attempts as when I disabled
   Total Cache entirely. So there must be something else about my site (plugin, 
   etc) that’s still causing it sometimes, but less often at least.

 * I have deleted Total Cache and installed WP Super Cache. Now I pass the Google
   Mobile Friendly Test without issues.

 * The Mobile Friendly Test and Page Speed Insights are two entirely different tests.
   The Mobile Friendly Test is scanning your robots file to ensure the site can 
   be crawled. If you haven’t adjusted your robots file to allow Google to crawl
   the site, then you’ll get a “Not Mobile Friendly” result.
 * I verified everything I mentioned through the Google Webmaster Forums. I posted
   a question and the response I got from there is the same I’m posting here.
 * Thanks.

 * [@moondog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moondog/) what adjustments did
   you have to do on robots to make it pass the test. I have disabled my w3total
   cache and he issue still there.

 * This is my robots.txt file. I have W3TC enabled and the site is mobile friendly.
   I’m not suggesting this will work for you, but for my site it works well.
