Quick answer
Responsive review checks that content and controls stay usable as screen space changes. It covers real customer tasks, zoom, and text entry rather than matching a desktop screenshot at every width.
Before you begin
Choose representative pages, including long content, a form, menus, and product or service details. Use real devices where available and record browser and viewport.
What to do
- Read a narrow phone layout in order. Look for clipped headings, horizontal scrolling, tiny text, misplaced images, and overlapping controls.
- Operate menus, accordions, dialogs, and carousels. Confirm reachable controls and a sensible return location after an overlay closes.
- Focus form fields with the on-screen keyboard visible. Check the active field, label, errors, and required action remain usable.
- Review tablet and wider computer layouts. Intermediate widths should not create awkward columns or inaccessible navigation.
- Increase browser zoom or text size and repeat essential tasks. Check content reflow and whether sticky elements hide important information.
How to check the result
Save relevant screenshots and reproduction notes. A useful review includes interaction and reading order, not just absence of overflow. Document browsers and devices that were not tested.
If you need help
For a device-specific problem, send URL, device, browser, orientation, and steps. Simulated viewports are useful, but do not replace actual mobile-keyboard testing. If the problem changes when the keyboard closes, include both states so the layout issue can be traced.
