The number of  web browsers available in the market is growing, at least five are equally competitive and user-friendly because, over the years, they have developed themselves to become one-stop solution for their visitors needs.

In addition to letting them browse World Wide Web, people can do number of other interesting things – view maps, send newsletters, publish articles, download softwares and files, view audios and videos, and many more.

So, why is it important to test the site across all browsers? The answer varies according to the individual requirements of the owners and the visitors.

If the site is important, then, it’s more vital to check the website across all browsers for ultimate user-experience. For example, if you have a news website, then it’s imperative that your website displays exactly the same over on all major Operating Systems and Web browsers, including older versions of Internet Explorer, Safari, Mozilla, and the least popular Web browsers like the Konqueror.

Why? Because millions of internet users still use different types of operating systems and Web browser.

That’s why you cannot take a chance and ignore the issue, and as a result, suffer from visitors leaving your site for other website that offer better user-experience.

Second, every Web site’s goal remains the same – get its message across fast and efficiently. For that, the site not only needs to load fast, but also display their content as intended to their target audience.

Just imagine a visitor to your site enters a page and finds it not displaying on Internet Explorer 9 as it had in the Mozilla Firefox. Obviously, the fault is of the web developer, but here the visitor suffer from its poorly laid out Web page, and as a result, you end up losing a customer because he finds your sitesloppy.

This is because, all those 500 million internet users run their PCs on different operating systems, and then, surf internet on their choice of Web browsers.

Now, when you are targeting as much audience through your website, you cannot predict which OS or browser before. All you can do is be prepared, that is, check your Web site across all major Web browsers.

Checking across all major Web browsers will ensure that you’re Web site, and the web pages inside them, are consistent, clear, and concise.

There are more than half-a-dozen list of popular Web browsers that your target audiences use to view your Web site. But the problem is that you don’t have control over which OS and Web Browser they use to view your site.

But as a Web designer or the owner of your small online business, you have to make sure that your Web design are consistently displayed across all Web browsers.

The only way to do that would be to ensure that your website, no matter how small, is cross-checked against the most popular browsers.

That means downloading all these different browsers on your PC and then installing them separately, and then, checking your Web site on each of them. Sure, the task seems tedious, but essential.  But is there an efficient way – an online tool or a single point of access – where you could check your website? Fortunately, there are online website tools that will allow you to do that.
