Cross-Browser Compatibility: Why It Matters

What is Cross-Browser Compatibility?

Cross-browser compatibility ensures that your website looks and functions correctly across different web browsers. The three major browsers that dominate 80-90% of internet traffic are:

  • Google Chrome
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Safari

Why is it Important?

If your website is not compatible with one or more of these browsers, you risk:

  • Limited access – Some users may not be able to view your site properly.
  • Brand damage – A broken site can harm your credibility.
  • Loss of customers – Poor user experience leads to lost traffic and sales.

How to Ensure Compatibility

  • Test your website on multiple browsers during development.
  • Use standardized code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to avoid browser-specific issues.
  • Verify compatibility with your developer and request proof of testing.

Final Tip: A well-optimized, cross-browser-compatible website provides the best user experience and strengthens your online presence!
