Why isn't Reader Mode available on all webpages?

Safari's "Reader Mode" icon appears on one page of a particular website but not another page of the same website. Is there something a web developer can do to look into why this is happening?


Thank you!

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

As a web developer, I would like to know the answer to this as well. None of the replies so far qualify as helpful and there needs to be a "down-vote" feature to accommodate how unhelpful they truly are.


Also, this shouldn't be that hard to address… Apple. Talkin' 'bout YOU.

Apple isn't reading these posts.


More info on the Reader View can be found on Apple's developer pages: https://developer.apple.com/reference/safariservices/sfsafariviewcontroller


Normal users can turn sites that don't support Reader View into text-only pages with services like https://www.textise.net/
