Yandex, Russian Based Search Engine, Adds Mobile Friendly Label To Search Results

Yandex has added the mobile friendly label to their mobile search results, for pages that meet their mobile friendly criteria.

The Russian Search Tips blog reported on the change, saying Yandex announced it in Russian and now, mobile friendly web sites will show the label.

Here is a picture of the label:

They also released a mobile friendly diagnostic tool so webmasters can check to see if their sites are mobile friendly. If they are not mobile friendly, the tool will offer advice on what changes to make to be mobile friendly.

Here is a screen shot of that tool:

Earlier this week, Yandex told webmasters to stop blocking JS and CSS. I assume that notice was aimed at Yandex being able to detect better if a site is mobile friendly or not, amongst other things.

Bing just recently rolled out their mobile friendly testing tool, but had the mobile friendly label for some time. Google released their mobile tool a year or so ago, with the mobile friendly label.
