Does your store really work on a phone?

A store can look perfect on your laptop and still be hard to use on a phone.

Why it happens

• It was designed on a big screen. The phone version comes last.
• Images are too heavy. Large photos make the page slow on mobile data.
• Buttons are too small. People tap the wrong thing, then give up.
• Pop-ups cover the page. On a small screen, there is nowhere to escape.

What to do

Open your store on an ordinary phone, using mobile data. Try to find one product and reach checkout using one thumb. Write down everything that slows you down.

Checklist

1. Make buttons big enough to tap easily.
2. Compress your product images.
3. Keep the price and the buy button easy to find.
4. Remove pop-ups that cover the page.
5. Repeat this test each time you change the store.
