Device and Viewport Emulation

22 Oct, 2025 5 min read

Emulate different devices and screen sizes to track mobile-specific content or responsive design variations.

Why Device Emulation?

Many websites display different content based on device type or screen size. Device emulation lets you track these variations.

Common Scenarios

  • Mobile-only features or content
  • Responsive pricing or layouts
  • Device-specific promotions
  • App download buttons
