Your code is fine. Does it work on a phone?

Most launch checklists never open the site on a phone until it's too late. The Mobile Readiness scanner reads your source for the patterns that break mobile layout, before you deploy, offline, on every scan. It is the source-side complement to the Pro Live Site Auditor, which measures the real result on your deployed URL.

What it catches

Nine static checks for the things that make a page unusable, cramped, or overflowing on a small screen:

Viewport meta missing Zoom disabled Images that stretch Fixed-width overflow min-width overflow 100vw scrollbar Inline fixed width No @media breakpoints Tiny body text

The three that bite most

1. A missing viewport meta

Without <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">, a mobile browser renders your page at a desktop width and shrinks the whole thing to fit. Text becomes unreadable and nothing adapts. It is the single most common reason a site is unusable on a phone, and it is a one-line fix, so this check is the only one rated High.

2. Images that scale width but not height

An <img> rule with width: 100% but no height: auto keeps the image's HTML height and stretches it vertically as the width shrinks. On a phone the picture is distorted and tall. It is a subtle bug that looks fine on desktop and wrong on mobile.

3. Fixed widths that overflow

A container pinned to width: 1200px (or a min-width, which can't even shrink) is wider than a phone screen, so the page scrolls sideways and content is cut off at the edges. The scanner flags fixed pixel widths on layout containers, inline styles, and min-width, while leaving desktop @media breakpoints alone.

The honest line

This is a readiness check, not a guarantee. Static analysis catches patterns, not the rendered result. The measured outcome (does it actually reflow, what the layout looks like on a real device) is what the Pro Live Site Auditor gives you. These findings are quality signals: they sharpen your grade but never gate the Ship-It security verdict.

How it fits the workflow

How to fix what it finds

IOnclad reports patterns it can see in source. It is not a device lab or a guarantee that a page renders perfectly everywhere.
