Mobile optimization test fails when using excerpt in front page

Hi everyone,

When I modify the content.php to show “the_excerpt” instead of “the_content” in my front page, the site fails the google mobile optimization test.

Do you know what’s wrong?

In content.php I changed this:

<div class="entry-content">
		<?php
			/* translators: %s: Name of current post */
			the_content( sprintf(
				__( 'Continue reading %s', 'twentyfifteen' ),
				the_title( '<span class="screen-reader-text">', '</span>', false )
			) );
 
			wp_link_pages( array(
				'before'      => '<div class="page-links"><span class="page-links-title">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyfifteen' ) . '</span>',
				'after'       => '</div>',
				'link_before' => '<span>',
				'link_after'  => '</span>',
				'pagelink'    => '<span class="screen-reader-text">' . __( 'Page', 'twentyfifteen' ) . ' </span>%',
				'separator'   => '<span class="screen-reader-text">, </span>',
			) );
		?>
	</div><!-- .entry-content -->

For this:

<div class="entry-content">
		<?php
if ( is_single() ) :
			/* translators: %s: Name of current post */
			the_content( sprintf(
				__( 'Continue reading %s', 'twentyfifteen' ),
				the_title( '<span class="screen-reader-text">', '</span>', false )
			) );
 
			wp_link_pages( array(
				'before'      => '<div class="page-links"><span class="page-links-title">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyfifteen' ) . '</span>',
				'after'       => '</div>',
				'link_before' => '<span>',
				'link_after'  => '</span>',
				'pagelink'    => '<span class="screen-reader-text">' . __( 'Page', 'twentyfifteen' ) . ' </span>%',
				'separator'   => '<span class="screen-reader-text">, </span>',
			) );
else :
 
/* translators: %s: Name of current post */
			the_excerpt( sprintf(
				__( 'Continue reading %s', 'twentyfifteen' ),
				the_title( '<span class="screen-reader-text">', '</span>', false )
			) );
 
			wp_link_pages( array(
				'before'      => '<div class="page-links"><span class="page-links-title">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyfifteen' ) . '</span>',
				'after'       => '</div>',
				'link_before' => '<span>',
				'link_after'  => '</span>',
				'pagelink'    => '<span class="screen-reader-text">' . __( 'Page', 'twentyfifteen' ) . ' </span>%',
				'separator'   => '<span class="screen-reader-text">, </span>',
			) );
endif;
 
		?>
	</div><!-- .entry-content -->
