My site looks wrong on phones

Text too small, sideways scrolling, buttons hard to tap, menus that do not open. Most visitors are on a phone, so this matters.

Signs

  • You have to zoom or scroll sideways
  • The menu does not open or covers the page
  • Buttons and links are too close together
  • Images are cut off or stretched

Usual causes

  • An old theme that was not built for phones
  • Fixed widths in custom code
  • Pop-ups that cover the screen on small devices
  • Page builder settings that only look right on desktop

What you can check yourself

  1. Open your key pages on your own phone and a friend’s different phone.
  2. Try each button, form and the menu.
  3. Note the pages and the phone models where things go wrong.
