How to Check Website Responsiveness for free? What mistake web developers make when they select tool to check website responsiveness? How can you check website responsiveness effectively? Never fail in responsive testing again.
As of May 2021 Google Chrome has 64% usage share. Second being Safari, that is 18%. Firefox is after Edge web browser. As web developers we can understand this pattern and user’s choice. It is understandable that, why most people use Google Chrome? Why Safari is the second best in the list? And then there are people who just use Microsoft Edge …
Google Chrome is light weight, fast and easy to use so it makes sense for most people to just use it – even for web developers. There are many web responsiveness testing tools available online but we are not getting into those here.
Question is: As a web developer, how can you check web responsiveness for free and effectively. For those who are just starting web development, built-in ‘device toggle toolbar’ or ‘developers tools’ in Google Chrome are easy way to check website responsiveness.
But as a web developer, after you create website, apply responsiveness, and go to your manager or share project with Quality Assurance team, you will experience this often:
They always find a way to point out responsive issues in website. Even when you checked thoroughly but could not see those issues.
That is because:
They don’t check responsiveness on Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox web browser. They check website responsiveness either on Microsoft Edge or on Safari web browser. Most managers or CEOs use Apple MAC Book. QAs check responsiveness on Microsoft Edge and Safari. Well mostly QA team has got tablets and mobile devices as well. Microsoft Edge and Safari will most likely show you responsiveness issues that you may have missed in Google Chrome.
Good thing is: Microsoft Edge and Safari web browsers are available for Microsoft Windows as well. Edge is also available for Windows 7.
Web browsers have responsive tools. Just right click at page and use inspect option. You have got similar responsiveness testing tool available in Edge like in Google Chrome.
And then we have got Safari for Windows as well. Website that is looking fine on Google Chrome and Edge may not look perfect on Safari. And Safari on MAC Book may show you even more issues in same website. Behavior for Safari on MACBOOK and Windows is slightly different.
To check responsiveness in Safari, right click and select inspect element. If you can’t find this option in Safari, go to options and check this option. In MAC BOOK Safari you can find ‘Responsive Design Mode tool’, under the ‘Develop’ menu that can help in responsive testing for different devices.
So we have got tools to check responsiveness for different web browsers. It is highly recommended that you you get tablet, Android and iOS phones to check responsiveness properly. But if you don’t you have got tools built into web browser. But Edge and Safari may show you issues that you won’t see in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. To avoid responsive issues being reported again and again, make sure you check responsiveness yourself in Safari and Edge as well.
This will save you a lot of headache …
