Why does a mobile page render at desktop width despite responsive CSS?
KitForma editorial guide. Include a viewport declaration such as width=device-width, initial-scale=1 in the document head, then check for fixed-width elements that still overflow.
Step-by-step guidance
Include a viewport declaration such as
width=device-width, initial-scale=1 in the document head, then check for fixed-width elements that still overflow. Verify on a real narrow viewport and at text zoom. Do not disable user scaling to hide layout defects. A viewport declaration enables expected sizing behavior, but it does not automatically make desktop-only widths or overflowing content responsive.Sources and verification
