Viewport not set

Google Search Console is giving me an error listed as "Viewport not set" but the pages it lists do indeed have the standard <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">.

I'm using Site Designer V5, 3490. I'm not sure what else I should add to convince Google I do have a Viewport set. Any ideas?

how about informing Google themselves :D:D:D:D

SERIOUSLY THOUGH
This is usually an error message with problems that have a problem with Mobile devices

as they and many of us have been saying now for a few years Google will now only index pages etc using Mobile set up the width scale = 1 might be the issue


Check things for mobile device like font sizes (Google like a minimum of 16 px)

Check there is enough space between links, so people with large fingers or thumbs don't press 2 at the same time

Also try adding
maximum-scale=1

to the end of the tag

all else fails a link to the site in question

If the website in question is https://www.alaskabushadventures.com/ , Wayan's mention of fonts could be important.

Lines 50-52 of the index.html page include the following HTML4 font tag, which https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_font.asp says is not supported in HTML5.

<h1 class="company-name-heading">
<font color="#4973ec" class="heading-text-1">alaska bush adventures</font>
</h1>

I don't think SD5 would have done this, but it would have put the font colour in the CSS file as

color:#4973ec;

Even if it doesn't solve the problem, I think it's worth changing.

Thank you both for your comments. I've looked at the area you mentioned Frank:
<h1 class="company-name-heading">
<font color="#4973ec" class="heading-text-1">alaska bush adventures</font>
</h1>

and I have no idea how that would have gotten there unless it's a left over from the original template I used. That color #4973ec is not a color I used in this site. And it looks as though it's something that has been added outside of Site Designer.

I'm going to go back to earlier versions and see what I can find. Wayan, thank you so much for all your help. These font issues are critical. Thanks for your insights.
