Configuring cache plugins for Equivalent Mobile Redirect
Some caching software set on your desktop site may override Equivalent Mobile Redirect’s mobile detection method and then the redirects will not function properly. Fortunately, most caching plugins can be set to disable caching when mobile devices are detected.
If you use: W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, Wordfence, WP Rocket, Hyper Cache, Quick Cache Pro, WP Simple Cache, Comet Cache, WPEngine, or other caching plugins or services.

Annotations for desktop and mobile URLs
To help search engines understand separate mobile URLs tags are automatically added to the desktop pages to tell crawlers about it. For a more in-depth explaination of annotations please see Google developers
Known limitations
- Some touchscreen devices (eg. Microsoft Surface) are tough to detect as mobile since they can be used in a laptop mode.
- If the mobile browser is set on Desktop mode, the Mobile Detect script has no way of knowing that the device is mobile.
- There are hundreds of devices launched every month, we cannot keep a 100% up to date detection rate.
