Is Resizing a Vercel Issue or a SvelteKit Issue?

Discussion

Hi People…

I built a site using SvelteKit, and everything looked great when I tested it locally. However, after deploying it to Vercel, I noticed that everything shrunk—text is smaller, and it looks like there’s some padding on the sides that’s squeezing everything in.

I’m trying to figure out if this resizing issue is related to Vercel or if it’s something with SvelteKit. Does anyone have any insights or suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

I’ve checked my Svelte components and global styles for any viewport or sizing issues, but so far nothing seems amiss. Has anyone encountered similar behavior with SvelteKit on Vercel?

From what I experienced too the issue maybe that the website looks smaller after deploying to Vercel compared to local development.

What especially causes these maybe due to,

  • CSS conflicts: The local and live CSS environments might be different.
  • SvelteKit configuration: There could be a setup error causing issues.
  • Vercel-specific issue: Sometimes Vercel can affect how the website renders.

Here are a few steps to fix this if needed:

  • Compare local and live CSS for inconsistencies.
  • Inspect HTML and CSS using browser developer tools.
  • Test website on different browsers and devices.
  • Simplify website layout to isolate the issue.
  • Check Vercel logs for errors.

Verify that your SvelteKit dependencies are up to date. Sometimes outdated dependencies can cause unexpected behavior. Update them as needed.
