Google is launching a new certification program<\/a> for mobile site developers today. The exam covers everything from the basics of why mobile sites matter to how to improve mobile site speed, effective mobile UX design and more advanced topics like progressive web apps.<\/p>\n As Google notes, passing the exam is meant to show that you have \u201ca demonstrated ability to build and optimize high-quality sites, and allows you to promote yourself as a Google accredited mobile site developer.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting that the exam doesn\u2019t focus on Android, iOS or any other mobile operating system, though it does cover Google\u2019s own Accelerated Mobile Pages project (and even though that\u2019s a Google project, others are\u00a0starting to support it<\/a>).<\/p>\n The new certificate joins similar exams for AdWords and Analytics in Google\u2019s Partner program<\/a>\u00a0(though the AdWords certificate is a bit more involved because you also need to pass more than one exam).<\/p>\n Featured Image: Justin Sullivan\/Getty Images<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/04\/partners-profile-mobile-sites.png?w=395&h=283\")
<\/a>A lot of the content in the study guide<\/a>\u00a0focuses on site speed. As Google notes, the majority of mobile site visitors will leave a site if it\u00a0takes more than three seconds to load, yet the average load time for a mobile landing page is 22 seconds (and\u00a0if those users leave without ever fully loading the site, they aren\u2019t likely to click on any Google ads either, of course).<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/04\/2017-04-03_0859.png?w=745&h=454\")
