How to Make Website Tables Usable on Small Screens

Wide data tables can become unreadable on phones when columns are clipped or require excessive horizontal movement.

Checks to make

Identify essential columns, preserve headers and reading relationships, allow a clearly indicated scroll region when needed, and avoid hiding information without an equivalent view. Test zoom, keyboard access, and assistive technology with real content.
