Measuring Responsive Breakpoint Usage
February 10, 2015Designing websites for a modern web means dealing with a whole lot of different setups, devices and resolutions and the best way to handle this is to build things as device agnostic as possible when planning our breakpoints. Wouldn’t it be nice, if tools like Google Analytics would let us track not only devices, but also the usage of our actual breakpoints? Well, turns out that’s possible with a clever use of matchMedia(), as Philip Walton from Google explains in his article.
If your site is built on device-less principles, but its usage is measured against device-only metrics, you’re going to get a mismatch—potentially a big one.
I’m looking forward to implement and play around with this somewhere.
