Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

All options are turned OFF by default to avoid unwanted surprises. Be sure to set the domain name of your mobile website in Settings > Mobile Detect, before activating the redirect function.
This can help search engines understand the relationship between your desktop and mobile website. It also makes the mobile user experience much more fluid when clicking a link to a particular page on your website (they don’t get dump onto your mobile home page, where they then have to figure out where the page they were looking for is).
If you have links published in your marketing campaign that go directly to specific pages of your website, you probably want those links to take visitors to those pages respectively, mobile users included. If you don’t have such links published, search engines do, regardless. Redirecting all search engines to your home page can lower its status, as it can make your home page appear to be a 404 page.
Suppose your mobile website has a link to your desktop website (e.g. “View desktop version” or “Full Site”) and the user clicks it. AddFunc Mobile Detect sets a cookie to remember that the visitor has opted for the desktop website. Now let’s say your visitor changed his/her mind and wants the mobile site again. A link to the mobile site is the obvious solution, but in most cases you wouldn’t want that link to show up on desktop computers, so we don’t generate it. Conveniently, these generated links automatically use whatever URL you enter in on the settings page, so even if you later have your mobile website at another URL, you’ll never need to directly update these links.
Generally tablets do a fine job of displaying desktop websites. But now as of version 3, AddFunc Mobile Detect gives you (the admin) the choice of treating tables the same as mobile devices or as desktops (default).
Can I get a statistic? It really depends on how often you get visitors who have javascript turned off and whether you can do without those visitors. Likewise, I suppose, it depends on whether many of your visitors withhold their browser and system specs when requesting your website. Usually, neither of these are very common, but they both happen.
I have not tested it on earlier versions. In fact, I could use help with testing. Feel free to try it out in an earlier version and let me know if it works! 🙂
