    A STARTING-POINT EXAMPLE

    Hypothetical standard operating procedure

    Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.

    1. Check that primary navigation menus, breadcrumbs, and key account paths appear on mobile.
    2. Retain useful inline links within content on mobile interfaces.
    3. Add curated related-content modules replacing desktop sidebars when necessary.
    4. Perform mobile crawl to review link discovery and depth.
    5. Test critical user journeys on physical mobile devices for usability.

    Watch for

    Removing desktop-only navigation elements on mobile without replacement can increase crawl depth or create orphan pages.

    Definition of done

    Important pages remain reachable within expected crawl depth and usability on mobile devices.
