What might be causing my portfolio site to break and not scroll on mobile when it looks fine on my own phone?
There can be a few potential reasons why your portfolio site is breaking and not scrolling on mobile devices even though it appears fine on your own phone. Here are some possible causes and solutions to consider:
Browser compatibility issues: Different devices and browsers can render websites differently, so it's possible that your site looks fine on your phone but not on other devices. To address this, make sure to test your site on multiple mobile devices and popular browsers to ensure cross-compatibility. Consider using browser testing tools or services to simplify this process.
Responsive design issues: If your site is not properly optimized for mobile devices, it could break or not scroll as intended. Ensure that your site is using responsive design techniques, such as media queries and flexible layouts, to adapt to various screen sizes. Double-check that all elements on your site are properly proportioned and arranged for smaller screens.
Overflow or scrolling conflicts: Sometimes, conflicting CSS rules, JavaScript code, or layout issues can cause problems with scrolling on mobile devices. Check your CSS styles and JavaScript code to see if there are any conflicts or errors that could be interfering with scrolling. Make sure that any custom scripts or plugins you're using are mobile-friendly and not causing issues.
Large file sizes or slow loading: If your site has large file sizes, such as images or videos, it could result in slow loading times or even cause the site to become unresponsive on mobile devices. Optimize your media files for the web by compressing images and videos, reducing their dimensions, and using optimized formats. This will help improve performance and ensure smooth scrolling on mobile.
Memory or resource limitations: Mobile devices often have limited memory and processing power compared to desktop computers. If your site is resource-intensive or includes heavy animations or effects, it could exceed the capabilities of some mobile devices, leading to performance issues. Optimize your site by minimizing unnecessary code, reducing the number of animations or effects, and optimizing JavaScript and CSS files.
Remember to test your site on multiple mobile devices and browsers to identify and address any potential issues. Regularly optimizing and updating your site will help ensure a smooth scrolling experience across different devices and platforms.
