Is there a way to see how my page looks on multiple devices at once?

BLUE_Responsive is a free Chrome extension that opens simultaneously on one screen for mobile, tablet, and PC when you press Alt+R on the page you want to check. When you scroll on one device, all screens move together so you can compare the same section by device, and you can save the entire screen and page for each device as PNG.

Scene shown in the video

The video begins with the same page changing into PC, tablet, and mobile shapes depending on the screen width. The same page looks different on each screen, so we introduce a tool to compare the differences on one screen.

Each screen is drawn at the px width of the actual device, so CSS media queries work as is. The last scene of the video guides you to search for BLUE_Responsive in the Chrome Web Store.

In what situations do you use it?

After creating the screen, you need to make sure that it is consistent on mobile and tablet. This tool helps you do that check all at once instead of switching between devices.

  • When checking whether a newly created page is out of sync on mobile
  • When you see side-by-side how the same section looks on your phone, tablet, and PC
  • When checking the mobile response of a site where the server separately downloads HTML for mobile
  • When you need to save the inspected screen as an image

Since the mobile frame changes the User-Agent of the request and sends it to the corresponding device, you can also check sites where the server divides the mobile screen separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BLUE_Responsive free?

yes. The introduction page states that there are no advertisements, payments, subscriptions, or membership registration, and that you can use it without restrictions after installing all functions.

How is this different from the browser's Developer Tools device mode?

Device mode in Developer Tools shows only one device at a time. BLUE_Responsive displays multiple devices on one screen at the same time and synchronizes scrolling, so you can compare how the same section looks on different devices at a glance.

Can I also check sites where the server downloads mobile pages separately?

yes. The mobile frame replaces the User-Agent in the request with the corresponding device value. So, even sites where the server divides HTML for mobile into User-Agent can check mobile responses.

Are there any limits to be aware of?

Input-based media queries that determine whether or not a touch occurs are evaluated as desktop input values. This is a tool designed to check single pages, as the mobile display may disappear when moving to another page within the frame.
