It’s not just Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Opera. There are many more web browsers used by people worldwide in their computers, tablets and Smart phones. In addition there are different versions of the same browsers and different Operating Systems.
So how does my blog or website look like in all these permutations and combinations?
It’s the wish of every blogger and website builder to know an answer to this important question. Let’s find out! The reason is that if their blog didn't look correct in any of these, they might lose a good chunk of visitors.
Not surprisingly, there is an easy solution to this problem.
A service online provides a feature which captures screenshots of your blog or website in various platforms and shows them all in one screen for you.
The two most important advantages of using this service are:
- It can help identify visual differences, plug-in problems of your site on all web browsers.
- Your website’s appearance as it is – and to use that screenshot for studying and enhancing user experience.
Bonus advantage: It also provides the page loading time in most cases.
Who provides this service?
1. One that immediately comes to my mind is browsershots.org. They have a big list of permutations and combinations of OS platforms and Web browsers. You might get around 150+ screenshots once the blog is tested.
2. The second one is www.browserstack.com. This is also equally good in terms of checking your blog or website on many platforms.
3. Another one that is available is www.browsershots.at.
Though all the above given services are FREE, one may have to wait in the queue as there is a lot of demand. They also let us register and/or pay for the service to get precedence.
Thus, this helps us in ensuring our visitors get the view that we intended to show when we kept our best foot forward with our blog or website.
Good luck in enhancing your user experience!
