In today’s globalized digital landscape, it’s crucial to ensure that your website looks and functions correctly for users across different countries. Varying factors such as language, location, and device preferences can impact how your website is displayed to visitors from diverse regions. To help you assess your website’s appearance in different countries, here are five free tools you can use:
-
GeoPeeker is precisely meant to view a site from different geographic locations.
Nice design. Provides screenshots for free from Singapore, Brazil, Ireland, Australia and two US States (Virginia & California). -
TestLocally is another good one we like. It provides 3 screenshots from 3 random cities from a 200+ list on 1 of 5 different browsers and on 3 different devices (desktop, mobile and tablet). Quite impressive.
-
Locabrowser offers web browsing from multiple locations.
Techy design. Provides browsing (not only screenshots) from 15 different countries. Great potential but buggy. -
GeoTargetly allows you to see how your website looks in 80 different countries! Very cool.
-
Websitetest is (one more) free tool to test websites speed and performance. Among various options you can define a specific location in a list of 11 cities to see how your website behave from there. GONE! This website shut down 🙁
- Using a VPN, whether free or paid for, is another way to see how your website looks in any country around the world. Just choos eyour favorite VPN, login to the country you want, and then browse to your website to see how it looks.
By utilizing these free tools, you can gain valuable insights into how your website looks to users across different countries. This knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions about localization, optimization, and user experience improvements, ultimately helping you create a globally accessible and user-friendly website.
Excellent post. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
