Why is my Webflow site behaving differently on mobile compared to desktop? Can anyone help?

Your Webflow site behaving differently on mobile is likely due to responsive design settings, mobile-specific styles, or interactions that aren't optimized for smaller screens.

1. Check Breakpoint Styles

• Webflow allows you to create styles specific to each breakpoint (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile Landscape, and Mobile Portrait).
• Go to the Designer, select an element, and check its style at each breakpoint using the top toolbar.
• Look for changes in margin, padding, font sizes, display settings, or visibility options.

2. Review Visibility Settings

• Elements can be set to show or hide at different breakpoints.
• With an element selected, scroll in the Style panel to the Display section and check if it’s set to Display: None on mobile.
• Use Navigator panel to locate hidden elements even if they don't show on the canvas.

3. Analyze Interactions and Animations

• Animations may not work the same on mobile due to different triggers or performance limitations.
• Go to the Interactions panel and review any animations applied to see if they are affecting mobile behavior.
• You might need to duplicate interactions and assign separate ones to mobile-specific elements.

4. Check Overflow, Positioning, and Flex/Grid Behavior

• Improper overflow settings (e.g., “overflow: auto” or “overflow: hidden”) can cause layout issues on smaller screens.
• Elements with fixed or absolute positioning might behave unexpectedly on mobile if not adjusted properly on smaller breakpoints.

5. Test in Actual Devices and Webflow Preview

• Use Webflow’s Preview mode and switch between breakpoints, but also test on real devices or browser’s device emulator (Inspect → Toggle Device Toolbar) to catch edge cases.
• Sometimes mobile browser behavior differs slightly due to viewport zooming or default styling.

6. Check Custom Code or Embeds

• If you have added custom code, especially scripts or iframes, they may not be mobile responsive.
• Review any embed code to make sure it uses responsive techniques like width: 100% and max-width.

Summary

Your Webflow site likely displays differently on mobile due to breakpoint-specific styles, visibility settings, or positioning issues. Use the Designer to check styles at each breakpoint, review interactions and visibility, and test thoroughly on real devices.
