5. Test your site on different devices
Taking a look at your new site (while it's in a test environment) on different devices helps you avoid issues that could negatively impact UX, conversion rates, and sales.
Imagine your online store looks great on desktop screens. Product descriptions are easy to read and photos are gorgeous.
But when you visit your site on a mobile device, you notice that the text is tiny and almost unreadable.
To avoid this, test your site on multiple devices using Google Developer Tools .
Here's how.
Using Chrome, head over to your site. Tap the kebab menu (the three vertical dots). Then select " More tools " > " Developer tools ".
Click on the " Items " tab and select the "Toggle Device Toolbar" icon:

Fix the areas where:
The text is small and difficult to read
Content overflows the viewport (the visible area of a web page)
The buttons are too small to press easily
6. Test your website in different browsers
It's important that your site looks good (and works) regardless of what browser your users are using. Provide a consistent experience for all users.
Different browsers, such as Chrome or benin phone number database Firefox, read and display website code differently. This results in variations in appearance and functionality.
That's why it's important to test your website in different browsers before going live.
Tools like BrowserStack allow you to test your website on different browsers and devices.
Or you can download several browsers on your computer and test your site with them.
Take note of the differences between browsers. And fix them before launching your website.
7. Compress your images
Small image files help your site run faster.
