A Google Mobile Friendly Update was launched as a new algorithm in February designed to reward mobile-friendly web pages. The mobile friendly update potentially gives a ranking boost to mobile-friendly pages in Google’s mobile search results.

The implementation was live on April 21, 2015.

This update will impact those searching on mobile smartphone devices only and it will give a ranking boost to mobile-friendly pages in Google’s mobile search results only. It did not affect desktop users nor will it have any impact on your desktop rankings.

So the question is, how do you know if your site is mobile friendly? There are a few ways but the only way to know if your site is already indexed by Google as mobile friendly is to see if your site has the mobile friendly label in the mobile search results. Using the mobile friendly testing tool will show if you pass the test, but Google may still need some time to update their index to pick up on the fact that your web pages are mobile friendly.

The mobile friendly algorithm is on a page by page basis. So even if only some of your web pages are not mobile friendly, some come benefit from this algorithm.

The algorithm is real time. So if you make improvements, Google has to crawl your web pages to determine if they are mobile friendly. It can take few hours to over 72-hours if you do everything right for Google to show your web pages as mobile friendly. Make sure your most important pages are indexed as mobile friendly sooner than later.

No, a web page is only mobile friendly or not mobile friendly, you cannot be more or less mobile friendly than another web page. It is a yes or no on being mobile friendly or not.
