John Mueller, a Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google, wrote on his Google+ page that search engine giant is aiming to “clean up” and create “more consistent design across devices” with the new update. Mueller also wrote that during Google’s tests of the cleaner design, click-through rates have not been significantly impacted by the elimination of author photos”.
