Hello
My website looks fine when I view it on my smartphone. But Google says my website is not mobile friendly, and it gives me an error message with an example image.
Question #1 - Why does my website look fine when I view it, but Google sees it as shown in the attached image? I've attached a copy of the image from Google.
Also they're saying my links are too close together but they're really not close so Question #2 - When using tabs in a webpage does anyone know if this creates a Google "NOT mobile friendly" error?
Thanking you in advance for your help.
Dennis

Da wäre mal der Link zu der Webseite recht, das man es mal prüfen/kontrollieren kann.
There would be a link to the website that you can check / check.

Yes of course and it looks fine on the web. The problem is Google is seeing it differently as to being mobile friendly. See the image and how they see it crunched up on the left of the screen instead filling all the space available.
Still have problem

Hello Dennis
Could you let me know the URL to your website so that I might perform a few tests for you?
Please do so here. I will report back after I've performed a few checks myself with your website
Thank you

I have the same problem with a few of my websites and as much as I change the layout Google Webmaster Tools won't change its mind. Google says that the "clickable elements are too close together" and the "text is too small" nothing more to identify which elements.
When I check on mobile devices they work well and everything looks fine to me but I cannot find what the problem is so I am just ignoring what Google says.

Stefano,
I have a scroll bar on the bottom of my smartphone view? When I scroll to the right, it's nothing but blank space.
What is causing my website to view much wider than the content?

Hello Dennis
Apparently, it is due to this image you used for the copyright text. It is extremely long and you didn't adapt it in Step 2 -> Template Content for each breakpoint:
Verify this and make sure that it fits every resolution
