Google's Christmas Gift For Web Designers

Ever wondered what parts of your site can't be viewed without scrolling? Browser Size shows you what portion of users can see a give spot on the screen. This is not screen resolution but the area available to the browser – as gathered from www.google.com users

Percentages are percentage of users who will see the areas of the website without scrolling.

For example innermost line says 99% that means for 99% the user areas under that line will be visible without horizontal or vertical scrolling.

I’ve tested for stuff.co.nz homepage, section landing and story page, you can see from below screenshots. Percentages are percentage of users who will see the areas of the website without scrolling.












As we can find out from this tool:
  • 30% of our readers can not see Latest News Headlines, Editor’s Picks and Most popular box on homepage
  • 50% of readers can not see More Headlines and Special Offers

Web designers can benefit from this visualization tool to tweak their designs for some purposes or improve user experience.

Big thanks for Google, I consider this as my Christmas gift for web developers!
