Lighthouse: Mobile Friendly section should be under Accessibility Category

[rcanu]

Summary

I think the Mobile Friendly section should be placed under Accessibility. Or is there a reason why it is under SEO section? Or is it because SEO also involves having the site be mobile friendly?

[patrickhulce]

You are correct that it is under SEO because mobile-friendliness is an important ranking consideration and these checks mirror the official "mobile friendly test" (https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly) from Google.

It's an interesting idea to mirror these audits under accessibility though, I like it! Accessibility means the site is accessible to everyone and these all apply to the usability of the site to a broad set of users :)

We could place it in both categories just as "Image elements have [alt] attributes"

[patrickhulce]

Yes @midzer that is the only proposal on the table right now, we certainly won't be removing these from SEO :)

Oooops, I've misread your "mirror" with "move". Sorry :D
