Ralph_m said: I wouldn't worry too much about Safari versions. I'm surprised so many have not updated Safari to a later version. But I get the sense that very few people use it at all, so I'd be surprised if you are getting many visitors from that browser. About 40% of of visitors at my workplace's website are using Safari. I was quite surprised to see that--I underestimated the popularity of OSX and iOS devices. After that, 30% were IE, 13% Chrome, 10% Firefox, 0.04% Opera, and the remaining 7% were mobile-specific. EastCoast said: Globally, safari isn't that significant at 8%.

(which takes stats from billions of page views across millions of sites) Even in America where mac use is higher, it's 13%. A higher percentage would typically indicate content that is primarily consumed by users where mac use is higher e.g the creative industries, or might indicate local users are all on macs. On my site's stats, about half the safari usage is mobile, half is desktop/laptop. The site is probably only relevant to folks within a 50 mile radius.

Mobile browser usage is increasing every day. According to, phone and tablet usage accounts for about 30% of web traffic. This means that consumer expectations for mobile websites are higher than ever. Even with smart techniques like mobile-first responsive design, testing a site before delivery is critical due to the overwhelming variety of mobile devices that are available to consumers. Mobile devices are on track to eclipse desktop devices in the near future. There are many different ways to test websites on mobile devices, but they are not all created equal. Here are five different methods to test a mobile site, ordered from the most ideal to the least favorable. 1. Test on Real Mobile Devices It’s always best to test a website on real devices, because there are many parts of the experience that simply can’t be emulated or faked.

BrowserStack is a paid service that allows you to test IE6-11 and Edge (and every other major browser like Chrome, Opera, Safari, Firefox as well as iOS and Android emulators) inside your browser. There are also browser plugins available for Chrome and Firefox which make launching BrowserStack even easier. As you can see, I was serious when I said this would be available cross-platform. On your Mac, download the app from the Apple App Store. Clicking on the Mac link will direct you to the online Apple store site. Click on the View in Mac App Store button so that you can launch the App Store app on your Mac. You’ll be presented by a confirmation.

The user experience contains many factors like variable network conditions, pixel densities, the relative size of tap targets, and real page load times. In a perfect world, every website would be tested on every mobile device that it might be viewed on. Of course, comprehensive testing is not practical, because time and money are always a factor on any project. Receiver for mac 12.7.
