I went through the links google is explicitly mentioning. The majority 
concerns http://sagemath.org/doc/
So, one of the "easy" fixes would be to define a suitable viewport for all 
documentation pages.
The next step is then to work out a good fontsize, probably with a @media 
detection, for the documentation pages.
Both measures combined could fix more than 50%.
