I’ve got a site that looks great on desktop and mobile, but doesn’t work when using a tablet. If I detect someone is viewing the site with a tablet using formFactor can I then force them to see the mobile view instead?

Hi Santimf,

We ended up creating new versions of all our pages that worked on tablet and then ran a check on the users screen size and then redirecting them to the tablet version of the page if their screen size was going to be too small. It’s not the most elegant solution but worked well enough for what we needed.

function makeResponsive() {
wixWindow.getBoundingRect()
.then((windowSizeInfo)=>{
let windowWidth = windowSizeInfo.window.width;
if (windowWidth <= 1440 && wixWindow.formFactor === “Desktop” ) {
wixLocation.to( “/tabletVersionOfPage” )
}
else if (wixWindow.formFactor === “Tablet” )
{wixLocation.to( “/tabletVersionOfPage” )}
});
}
