Media types

This test determines if a website can be viewed in different ways.

Why do we test for this?

A well-built website will change how it looks based on the different media you're using to view it. Media queries can be used to optimise a website's appearance in different types of media, including print, mobile, tablet and desktop.

How do we test for this?

We look for media queries inside your stylesheets, or for a separate print stylesheet.

What can I do about it?

Use media queries in your CSS to improve the layout of the website for different sized screens and devices.

Add a print media query or separate print stylesheet to your page. Use it to improve the look of your content when printed.
