How can I fix scaling issues for different screen sizes and the large space appearing on the right side of my Webflow site?

Scaling issues and unwanted space on the right side of your Webflow site are typically caused by overflowing elements or improper layout settings. Here's how to troubleshoot and fix those problems.

1. Check for Overflowing Elements

• Select each section and div in your layout and inspect their width and positioning.
• Look for any element set to width: 100vw or larger, which can cause horizontal scroll on mobile if padding or margins are added.
• Instead of 100vw, use width: 100% when nesting elements inside containers or sections.

2. Set Overflow Hidden on Body and Wrapper

• Select the Body element in the Navigator.
• In the Style panel, set Overflow: Hidden for the X axis only if needed, especially in cases where you can't find the overflowing object.
• Do this conservatively—only after trying to identify the root cause first.

3. Inspect Fixed or Absolute Position Elements

• Check for elements using position: absolute or fixed that might extend beyond the viewport.
• Make sure these elements are positioned relative to a proper parent container rather than the body, unless intentional.

4. Review Negative Margins and Transforms

• Negative margins or large translateX transform values can push elements outside the viewport.
• Revisit custom animations or interactions that may move elements horizontally.

5. Use Breakpoints Properly

• Webflow uses mobile-first responsive design. Make sure you adjust layouts for each breakpoint:
• Tablet
• Mobile Landscape
• Mobile Portrait
• Adjust font sizes, spacing, and layout stacks as necessary on each breakpoint.

6. Enable Responsive Image Settings

• If images or videos are too large, they may cause overflow.
• Select all image elements and make sure "Set to Max Width: 100%" and "Height: Auto" is enabled.

7. Test with Preview and Chrome DevTools

• Use Preview mode in Webflow and Chrome DevTools (toggle device toolbar) to identify when and where layout breaks.
• Zoom out to see if elements are leaking to the right side of the screen.

Summary

To fix screen scaling issues and remove extra space on the right in Webflow, ensure no elements are too wide (e.g., using 100vw), check for overflowing content, adjust element positioning and responsive styles with breakpoints, and be cautious with fixed/absolute positioning. Use overflow:hidden only when necessary on the body.
