Mobile Responsive Design Broken After Refactoring

Your application's mobile responsive design stopped working correctly after Cursor refactored the layout components. Mobile views are broken, showing desktop layout at small screen sizes.

Media queries or viewport configuration may have been removed.

Error Messages You Might See

Layout broken on mobile Content overflow on small screens Buttons unclickable on mobile Text too small on mobile
Layout broken on mobileContent overflow on small screensButtons unclickable on mobileText too small on mobile

Common Causes

  1. Viewport meta tag removed or modified in HTML head
  2. Media queries removed during CSS cleanup
  3. Flexbox/Grid responsive properties changed to fixed sizes
  4. Mobile-first approach replaced with desktop-first without adapting
  5. CSS file load order changed, overriding responsive rules

How to Fix It

Ensure viewport meta tag: <meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1'>. Use mobile-first media queries: @media (min-width: 768px) { }. Test with DevTools device emulation (Ctrl+Shift+M). Use flexbox or CSS Grid for responsive layouts.

Meïr Ankri Meïr Ankri Full-stack developer specializing in React / Next.js / Node.js with 6+ years of experience. I've worked across various sectors including automotive (Reezocar/Société Générale), healthcare (Medical Link SaaS), and e-commerce (Glasman). I build web apps end-to-end, from architecture to production, with a focus on scalability, performance, and code quality. I also mentor junior developers and contribute to technical decisions and code reviews. Yovel Cohen Yovel Cohen I got a lot of experience in building Long-horizon AI Agents in production, Backend apps that scale to millions of users and frontend knowledge as well. Jacek Rozanski Jacek Rozanski Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004). Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month. What I bring to AI-built apps: - I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0 - I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture) - I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting - I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code. Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours. Luca Liberati Luca Liberati I work on monoliths and microservices, backends and frontends, manage K8s clusters and love to design apps architecture Rudra Bhikadiya Rudra Bhikadiya I build and fix web apps across Next.js, Node.js, and DBs. Comfortable jumping into messy code, broken APIs, and mysterious bugs. If your project works in theory but not in reality, I help close that gap. Pratik Pratik SWE with 15+ years of experience building and maintaining web apps and extensive BE infrastructure Anthony Akpan Anthony Akpan Developer with 8 years of experience building softwares fro startups Alvin Voo Alvin Voo I’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing. My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream. What I bring to your project: Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins. Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams. Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's mobile-first design?

Write CSS for mobile (small screens) first, then add @media (min-width) for larger screens. Simpler and performs better.

How do I test responsive?

Use DevTools (Ctrl+Shift+M). Test actual devices. Use services like BrowserStack for multiple devices.
