Get Your Website in Top Shape for Mobile

In this era of mobile and tablet use, your site needs to be functional and optimized or risk losing your audience. One way to make sure your website runs perfectly on different devices is by adding a viewport meta tag to your HTML code, particularly if you are using WordPress.

What is a viewport meta tag?

A viewport meta tag is a piece of code that is included in the head section of your webpage, which instructs the browser how to present the content. It comprises two critical pieces of information: the viewport width and the zoom level. The viewport width determines the device screen’s width, while the zoom level determines how content is shown.
