Google has fully rolled out the second version of the mobile friendly update today. Google webmaster trends analysts, John Mueller announced it this morning on Twitter saying “the mobile changes mentioned here are now fully rolled out.”
Google gave us a heads up in March that they are preparing to boost the mobile friendly algorithm in May and clearly that has finished rolling out today.
This technically is suppose to “increase the effect of the [mobile-friendly] ranking signal.” As we reported in March, Google said if you are already mobile-friendly, you do not have to worry, because “you will not be impacted by this update.”
As a reminder, the Google mobile-friendly algorithm is a page-by-page signal, so it can take time for Google to assess each page, and that is why it took some time to roll out fully. So depending on how fast Google crawls and indexes all of the pages on your site, the impact can be slow to show up.
One webmaster asked if this is “mobilegeddon 2” and John Mueller responded, “no, not really.”
@tyron_love No, not really. :)

If you are not mobile-friendly, or if you want to ensure you are, check the Google mobile-friendly tool, and check Google’s mobile guidelines. It is never too late to benefit from this mobile friendly algorithm, it is real-time based on how fast Google crawls your pages.
