Problems with different browsers

Hi.

I've just updated my website and it displays fine (as expected) in MS Edge. (www.legitsolutions.com.au)

But if viewed with IE or Chrome, it doesn't display properly.

What settings should I be looking at to make sure it is compatible with the most common browsers?

Thanks

I viewed your home page in Edge, Chrome, FF, Opera and IE11 and they all looked the same to me.

What are you seeing different about each?

Only thing I noticed was that your cloud background image is too big. You need to optimize this as it loads slow and I have a very fast connection. It's almost 1.5 MB big. You can reduce it by 90% to 146kb if you go here: https://tinypng.com/

Thanks Crispy.

I've since found that it mostly works if I use the full www.legitsolutions.com.au instead of just legitsolutions.com.au then it is OK in Chrome. Not sure why this would be. The full www... is just a CNAME in my DNS.

In IE11 though, the Services and Products pages don't display the FlexGrid layout properly, but I suppose that's to be expected. Do you know if any of the compatibility settings will help with this?

I hadn't considered the size of that image though :roll: (which should be unrelated), so I'll sort that out.

Cheers,
Ray

IE11 does not support flex-grid. Note that this is mentioned in the help.

Hi Pablo.

Yes, thanks, I suspected that was the case.

I just need to decide whether or not to re-do the site just to cater for IE users. I'm thinking maybe not.

It still baffles me though why, with Chrome, using the URL without www messes up how the pages are displayed.

Some other factor must be involved here. I'll have to keep digging.

Cheers
