Common Issues and Solutions

Issue: iOS Zoom on Input Focus

Solution: Ensure all inputs have font-size: 16px or larger

Issue: Touch Targets Too Small

Solution: Use min-h-[44px] and min-w-[44px] classes

Issue: Modal Not Scrollable on Mobile

Solution: Add max-h-[calc(100vh-200px)] overflow-y-auto to content area

Issue: Horizontal Scroll on Mobile

Solution: Use overflow-x-hidden on body and ensure no fixed-width elements exceed viewport

Issue: Navigation Drawer Doesn't Prevent Body Scroll

Solution: Set overflow: hidden on body when drawer is open

Issue: Video Player Overflow

Solution: Use aspect-video class and ensure parent has proper width constraints

Performance Considerations

Image Optimization

• Use Next.js Image component
• Provide appropriate sizes prop
• Use lazy loading for below-fold images
• Serve WebP format

<Image
  src="/image.jpg"
  alt="Description"
  width={800}
  height={600}
  sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw"
  loading="lazy"
/>

Code Splitting

• Use dynamic imports for heavy components
• Lazy load below-fold content
• Minimize initial bundle size

Touch Performance

• Use CSS transforms for animations
• Avoid layout thrashing
• Debounce scroll/resize events

Accessibility on Mobile

Focus Management

• Visible focus indicators
• Logical tab order
• Skip to content link

Screen Reader Support

• Proper ARIA labels
• Semantic HTML
• Alt text for images

Keyboard Navigation

• All interactive elements accessible
• Proper focus trapping in modals
• Escape key closes modals
