If you are experiencing extra white space on the right side of your Webflow site in mobile view, there could be several potential causes. Before addressing each possible reason, it's important to note that it is best practice to test your site on multiple devices and screen sizes to ensure proper responsiveness.

Here are a few possible causes and solutions for the extra white space on the right side of your Webflow site in mobile view:

  1. Overflow content: If you have elements, such as images, text, or containers, that are larger than the screen width, they may cause overflow and extra white space. To fix this, ensure that all elements are contained within the screen width, and adjust their sizes accordingly.

  2. Padding or margin settings: Incorrectly set padding or margin values can cause extra white space. Check the padding and margin settings for your elements and make sure they are set correctly. Pay extra attention to any parent elements that may be affecting the layout.

  3. Fixed width elements: If you have fixed-width elements that exceed the available screen width in mobile view, they can push other content to the right, causing white space. To fix this, either adjust the width of these elements or consider using responsive design techniques, such as percentage-based widths or media queries.

  4. Hidden overflow: If you have applied the "overflow: hidden" property to an element or its parent, it may cause content to be cut off and white space to appear. Review your CSS styles and make sure that overflow settings are not causing any issues.

  5. Viewport settings: Incorrect viewport settings can also lead to extra white space in mobile view. Make sure that you have set the viewport correctly in your project settings and that it matches the desired device width.

  6. CSS styles or custom code: If you have added custom CSS styles or code to your Webflow project, they might be conflicting with the responsive layout and causing the white space. Review your custom code and ensure that it's not interfering with the layout.

By addressing these potential causes, you should be able to identify and fix the extra white space on the right side of your Webflow site in mobile view.
