iPad mini iPad Mini 6 - Safari zoomed in on websites?

[revs]

I've noticed a few times on my wifes iPad Mini 6 that she has trouble finding things on a website, only to realise that it's zoomed in slightly, and we need to pinch to zoom out to see the full page without scrolling side to side.

I've seen it happen a few times, she is not zooming in herself, it's the default way it's rendering.

Is this normal on the iPad Mini 6 for some reason?

I might have installed a content blocker, and thats all I can think of that may be causing it if it's not normal.

Settings > Safari > Page Zoom > 85%.

It's not that unfortunately.

Could just be that the iPad mini has an odd dimension and the websites have bad rules on responsive design.

Could just be that the iPad mini has an odd dimension and the websites have bad rules on responsive design.

There is some of this but no way to fix that with responses/tips here. You would need to contact webmasters and/or responsive design platforms and get them to better target iPad mini screen size.

Best practical solution is to rotate the mini to create more horizontal screen RE for those sites. That gives responsive designs that don't work well with mini in portrait a different screen width to target. I find that simple flips like that quickly deal with just about all websites.

Else, if it is really troubling, another iPad size may be the better option. Go to a store and use demo units to visit all of the sites she likes that does this to be sure another screen size handles all of those sites well. Then buy that iPad.
