Why it matters
Sideways scrolling is a small signal with a big cost: it makes the page feel broken and can hide the next action.
How it works
FixWeb renders the homepage and distinct representative templates at a 375 px phone viewport, compares the document width with the viewport, and records the ten largest visible offenders with selectors, labels, rectangles, and excess width.
Site impact
Fixed-width media, long words, tables, and code blocks can push the whole page sideways. The passive pass reports what was visible at the tested phone width; it does not claim to cover every breakpoint or interaction state.
How to improve
Use responsive widths, `max-width: 100%`, wrapping or scrolling containers for genuinely wide content, and a test at the narrowest supported breakpoint. Keep the primary action inside the viewport.
