BlairHitch Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Hello! So, a few weeks ago, I revamped my website to the point where it is now. Everything looked great, all the previews were how I wanted them to be. Today, I randomly decided to check out my website on my phone and it looks nothing like the preview does in the /config loadout when I am working on my site. I hadn't looked at it until now cause the previews were showing everything in order. Could I get someone to look at this and Let me know if it does look messed up on your end as well Help me figure out how to fix this Thank you! P.S. - Here's what things look like on my end The preview of the mobile site via the /config page on my computer How it looks like when I go to the site on my phone Link to comment

However, I see this wasn't the same for you. Your screenshot shows what it would look like if the JS and/or CSS content didn't fully load, which can be an issue if using an old or unsupported browser, or where the internet connection is not reliable. If you are still having the issue on this device, please check which browser you are using (type and version number). Did this help?

Yenna Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Hi! I am having a similar problem. The mobile preview in squarespace is different from what I really get, is there any solution? 🙏🏼 This is the website: https://www.patasyladridos.com/ Link to comment

The mobile preview uses an average set of dimensions to allow you to see what it may look like on a "typical" mobile device. However, there are many different screen sizes and resolutions, so it cannot represent all the mobiles in general use. Also, the browser can influence how the page is interpreted, so the site may not look the same on Safari as it does not Chrome. It's worth checking at a few different resolutions because some visitors will have older (lower resolution) mobiles while others will have the latest, largest smartphone.

Yenna Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 That is super helpful, thank you:) paul2009 1 Link to comment
LiliRoseZayak Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Great reply Paul! I personally will go look at my IPhone after I redesign the mobile version of a site before publishing so I don't have any "surprises" with the layout. paul2009 1 Link to comment
patriceacer Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 @paul2009 Regarding your reply above... I'm curious as to how you previewed the site on multiple screen sizes (as your image shows). SS only gives me 2 choices: desktop or mobile (which as you mention is only an average). I'd like to preview it on different size screens other than the phone I have. Link to comment

Hey @patriceacer 👋 I use a variety of methods but the one pictured is a free, open source tool called responsively.app. Once you’ve used it, you’ll wonder how you lived without it! 😀 Edited September 17 by paul2009 Me: I'm Paul, a SQSP user for >18 yrs & Circle Leader since 2017.

I was using developer tools in google chrome and changing the device dimensions from the drop down menu. It was a pain. Thanks for the tip. *Update* Wow!!!!! Amazing tool!
