Free Mobile Viewport Checker
Enter your domain. We check whether your page declares a valid <meta name="viewport"> tag, which mobile rendering depends on.
This checks 1 thing. HellSEO's full audit scores 18 items across SEO, AEO, and GEO — including backlink authority and score history this page doesn't cover.
See Full ScoreHow It Works
We fetch your page's HTML and look for a <meta name="viewport"> tag.
If found, we check its content for the two values that matter most: width=device-width (matches the viewport to the device) and initial-scale=1 (starts at 100% zoom).
This is a static HTML check — no rendering, no screenshots, nothing stored.
Example Result
The viewport tag tells mobile browsers to render the page at the device width. This is the standard form; the checker confirms it is present and valid.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />Common mistakes
- No viewport tag: phones render a desktop-width page and shrink it, so text is tiny.
- A fixed width such as width=1024 defeats responsive layouts.
- user-scalable=no or maximum-scale=1 blocks pinch zoom and hurts accessibility.
- The tag must be in the <head>, not in the body.
- A valid tag does not make the layout responsive. The CSS still has to adapt.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the standard viewport tag?
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" /> — this is the baseline nearly every responsive site uses.
Does this guarantee my site is mobile-friendly?
No — it only checks that the viewport tag exists and is set correctly, which is the prerequisite for responsive CSS to work at all. Actual layout, tap target sizing, and font size still depend on your CSS.
What happens without this tag?
Mobile browsers render the page at a fixed desktop-width viewport (typically 980px) and scale it down, making text tiny and forcing users to pinch-zoom — a classic "not mobile-friendly" signal.
Should I ever set maximum-scale=1 or user-scalable=no?
Generally no — disabling pinch-zoom is an accessibility problem for users who need to zoom text. It's not part of what this checker flags as required.
