Simple visual tool to show what percentage of web users can see different areas of your website without needing to scroll.
- perlgeek 15y agoI'm a bit disappointed, because it renders relative widths according to the current window width, which would be much smaller on smaller screens. Many of my webpages have something like width: 80% max-width: 80em or so for the main text. Which ensures that on a narrow window you still see a decent part of the main text, but on this test site it looks as though you only see the margin with a narrow browser window.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoSimple and pretty laggy for me on chrome - even moving the mouse seems to lag a little.

- sequoia 15y agoThis tool is misleading. It sizes the site according to your CURRENT browser size then lays the semi-transparent graphic over it. This means that if I have a 900px wide content area centered in the viewport, and my current width browser width is 1400px, it appears that there is 250px of empty background on the left and a 380px wide browser would see almost nothing. That's inaccurate. tl;dr: take this tool with a grain of salt, resizemybrowser is a much better method.
