Building an effective, successful website isn't easy at all.

There are dozens of different aspects involved and certain tasks (SEO, content creation, etc) are literally endless.

In these circumstances is extremely easy to forget even important or obvious things ...

One of these easy-to-forget yet very important things is the cross-browser compatibility.

Sounds Chinese?

Relax ... Is simple ...

Cross-browser compatibility is the ability of a website to function properly across different browsers and degrade gracefully when browser features are absent or lacking.

In plain English?

While all popular browsers behave nearly identical when rendering web pages, they all use different code which means they may handle website elements differently.

As a result, your site will be rendered one way on Google Chrome for PC, another way on Safari for Mac, and another way on Brave or Opera Mini for Android, and you won’t be able to create and sustain a perfect user experience.

In such situations the CSS rules are “translated” differently by the given browsers and the final output can be very disappointing: disrupted layouts, missing or screwed-up visual elements, embarrassing typography mistakes, etc.

And these are not Wordpress-related "errors", so they could remain "invisible" to you for long time ...

Google Chrome is the most popular web browser in the world with 65% market share on desktop computers and 57% on mobile devices. However, other browsers like Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, and Opera are still widely used by hundreds of millions of users across the world.

This is why is literally vital to test EVERY SINGLE PAGE to make sure that your website looks good on all different browsers, screen sizes, operating systems, and mobile devices

In this tutorial I will show you how to test your WordPress website in different browsers.

Never really tried that but I've been using Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome to work on my websites and previewing. Guess I'll check on mobile/tablet devices as well as other browsers.

Thanks!
