Why Is My Wix Site Scrolling Horizontally?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:38 am

If you’ve ever wondered why your Wix site is scrolling horizontally, you’re not alone. Many Wix users have this issue, and it can be frustrating. Here’s a look at why this happens and how to fix it.

The most common reason for horizontal scrolling on a Wix site is because the site is not optimized for mobile devices. When you view a website on a mobile device, the screen is much smaller than a desktop computer.

This means that if the website is not designed for mobile, it will be difficult to read and navigate. As a result, you may have to scroll horizontally to see the entire page.

PRO TIP: If you are experiencing horizontal scrolling on your Wix site, it is most likely due to an issue with your site’s code. Horizontal scrolling can be caused by a number of factors, including incorrect coding, browser compatibility issues, or plugins that are not compatible with your site. If you are not a web developer, we recommend contacting one to help you resolve this issue.

To fix this issue, you need to optimize your Wix site for mobile devices. You can do this by going to the “Mobile” tab in your Wix Editor and selecting the “Optimize for Mobile” option. This will automatically adjust your site so that it looks great on all devices, including smartphones and tablets.

Once you’ve optimized your site for mobile, the horizontal scrolling should stop. If it doesn’t, there may be another issue causing the problem.

For example, if you have a lot of content on your page, it may take longer to load on a mobile device. In this case, you can try reducing the amount of content on your page or using a different layout that’s more mobile-friendly.
