Can I minimize content for the mobile version of my site?

I recognise the SEO need to have good quality content and plenty of it for Google's on-page assessment.

Most of my online users access my site through their mobiles rather than PCs, laptops etc.

I have two questions arising:

!. Given that on-page SEO is done on the laptop version how important is it to maintain ALL or the vast majority of the editorial content on the mobile version?

2. Can I edit the editorial content on the mobile version down to the bare essentials so the mobile site is that much easier to navigate and work with on
the much more confined screen?

Of course serving Google is of absolute importance for rankings.

I would welcome views. Thank you.

Hi,

Instead of minimizing the content, you can hide it, there many jquery available online , which can download for free and apply them in your website.

I understand about the "mobile first". A large amount of the text on my site would be better NOT being produced on the mobile version.
It is there as good content for SEO. Will "hiding" that which is not needed for busy mobile users negatively impact "mobile first"?????

Garima Sinha

NO there will be no impact on Mobile first, as google read the source of the page, so for google, all content will be visible. Only it will be hidden for users looking an design side of the website.
