A Missing Viewport Tag Breaks Mobile

One missing line of HTML can make an entire site unusable on mobile. The viewport checker pulls any URL and tells you whether the meta tag exists, what scale it sets, and whether mobile rendering will respect it.

Run it after every theme update or page builder change to catch the silent regressions that hurt mobile conversions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about meta viewport tags and mobile-friendliness.

What is a meta viewport tag?
The meta viewport tag tells browsers how to scale a page on different screen sizes. Without it, mobile browsers render the page at desktop width and then shrink it down, making text too small to read.
What is the correct viewport tag?
The recommended value is: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">. This tells the browser to match the screen width and start at 1x zoom.
Why is user-scalable=no flagged as an issue?
user-scalable=no disables pinch-to-zoom on touch devices. This is a WCAG 1.4.4 accessibility violation that prevents users with low vision from zooming in to read content.
Does a missing viewport tag affect SEO?
Yes. Google uses mobile-first indexing and considers mobile-friendliness a ranking factor. Pages without a viewport tag typically fail the mobile-friendly test in Google Search Console.
Can I check pages that require login?
Only publicly accessible pages can be checked, the tool fetches the URL the same way a search engine would. Password-protected or login-gated pages will return an error or show the login page HTML instead.
