# Googlebot doesn't recognized SCCSS

 * We’ve been recently optimizing our sites to meet Google’s guidelines on mobile
   friendliness using this tool: [https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/](https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/)
 * We also utilize this tool: [https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/googlebot-fetch-details](https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/googlebot-fetch-details)
 * One common issue: It appears Googlebot (gbot) does not see CSS from this plugin.
   When you use those tools, it prints out an image of how gbot sees the site. I
   noticed the design was very messed up in gbot’s eyes. After extensive troubleshooting,
   I have found that when I delete sccss.css (chrome inspector) the site looks identical
   to how gbot sees it.
 * This may explain why we are getting false positives: “Your site is not mobile
   friendly!”
 * My guess, this has something to do with how the SCCSS plugin is included in the
   output. Any thoughts?

   issue you stated in another forum you had the answer too. You said if anyone 
   wanted to learn what it was to contact you, but that topic is closed. I need 
   to learn what you did please.
