## Sideways scrolling

Passing looks like: The page fits every screen width from 360 to 1440 px.

**Why it matters.** When a page is wider than the phone, visitors have to pan left and right to read it, and Google indexes this mobile version, broken layout included. It is usually one fixed-width element.

**How to fix it.**

1. Find the element named in the technical detail and give it max-width:100% instead of a fixed width.
2. Wrap wide tables in a container with overflow-x:auto, so only the table scrolls.
3. Let images and embeds shrink with max-width:100%; height:auto.
