## Description

Frank Responsive Checker is a complete device preview, responsive check, and site
testing tool for website responsive design and front-end performance directly inside
your WordPress dashboard. Test and analyze how your website looks and functions 
in every possible device — including smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop monitors,
and 4K displays.

By simulating 13+ specific device viewports and custom screen resolutions, these
developer tools streamline the debugging process for developers, designers, and 
website owners.

Whether you are performing a design audit, checking website accessibility, running
site testing across custom breakpoints, or conducting a full website responsive 
check in every possible device layout, this plugin provides a native testing environment
without requiring third-party subscriptions or external applications.

### Key Features List

 * Device Preview & Presets: Instant device preview on modern smartphones, tablets,
   laptops, and desktop displays to check your site in every possible device layout.
 * Responsive Check & Breakpoint Detection: Scan your CSS to find media queries 
   and perform site testing at active breakpoints.
 * Visual Regression & Site Testing: Save baseline layouts and use comparison sliders
   to catch pixel shifts across device viewports.
 * Side-by-Side Comparison: View multiple devices at once with fully synchronized
   scrolling for multi-screen testing.
 * Accessibility Scanner: Audit WCAG color contrast, missing alt tags, and test 
   keyboard focus maps.
 * Advanced Developer Tools: Built-in DOM inspector, JavaScript console, network
   throttling, and SEO analyzer.
 * Network Throttling: Emulate Slow 3G and Offline states for comprehensive site
   testing under poor connections.
 * Touch Mode Simulation: Trigger authentic swipe and tap events for mobile website
   responsive testing.
 * Marketing Mockup Generator: Snap instant screenshots and create high-res transparent
   designs for your responsive check reports.
 * Dark/Light Mode Toggles: Force color scheme preferences without changing OS settings.

### Device Preview Across Every Possible Device & Viewport

Simulate and preview how your web pages render on every possible device screen size—
from mobile screens to 4K desktop displays.

 * Device Preview Presets: Check site layouts across smartphones like iPhone 16 
   Pro, iPhone 15 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S22, and Google Pixel.
 * Tablet & Laptop Viewports: Review tablet views including iPad Pro, Galaxy Tab,
   and laptop screen formats for complete website responsive auditing.
 * Custom Device Sizes: Enter any custom width and height values to test and analyze
   your site in every possible device resolution.
 * Orientation Toggles: Switch between portrait and landscape orientation with a
   single click to verify responsive layout flow.
 * Custom Profiles: Save custom device profiles to your personal library for quick
   access during future site testing sessions.

### Automatic CSS Breakpoint Detection

Never guess where your design breaks again. The built-in breakpoint scanner automatically
reads your active stylesheet and extracts all media query breakpoints for site testing.

 * Automatically detect and list all CSS breakpoints used on the current page.
 * Click any detected breakpoint to instantly snap the viewport to that exact width
   for a responsive check.
 * Review how your layout responds at critical structural transition points.

### Visual Regression and Layout Site Testing

Identify pixel-level changes and layout shifts using advanced visual comparison 
tools.

 * Establish a baseline screenshot of your current layout to serve as a reference
   point.
 * Use the visual comparison overlay slider to detect exact differences between 
   your baseline and new code changes.
 * Load multiple device frames side-by-side to examine layout consistency across
   different screen sizes.
 * Synchronize scrolling across all active comparison panels to inspect lengthy 
   pages effortlessly.

### Web Accessibility Audits (WCAG Compliance)

Ensure your website is accessible to all users by running automated accessibility
tests directly on your live pages.

 * Perform WCAG contrast checks to verify that text remains readable against background
   colors.
 * Scan the document for images missing alternative text attributes to improve screen
   reader compatibility.
 * Visualize the keyboard navigation flow with numbered focus map badges.
 * Simulate screen reader output to understand how visually impaired users experience
   your content.

### Advanced Developer Tools & Website Responsive Debugging

Access a suite of advanced developer tools designed specifically to help developers
troubleshoot complex front-end issues and perform site testing.

 * Network Throttling: Simulate Slow 3G or Offline network conditions to test page
   resilience and loading states.
 * Touch Mode Emulation: Simulate true mobile touch events like swipes and taps 
   while hiding the desktop cursor.
 * Design Mode: Enable content editing directly within the viewport to test copy
   changes without modifying your database.
 * SEO Analyzer: Scan page meta tags, heading structures, and essential SEO attributes
   instantly.
 * Color Scheme Emulation: Force system dark or light mode preferences to test CSS
   media features.
 * Dedicated Code Inspector: Open a built-in DOM inspector and JavaScript console
   specifically for the simulated viewport.

### Instant Screenshots and Mockup Generator

Generate professional marketing assets and visual bug reports with one click during
your site testing workflow.

 * Capture high-fidelity PNG screenshots of the current viewport.
 * Use the batch capture feature to automatically snap screenshots across multiple
   popular devices simultaneously.
 * Export designs with transparent backgrounds or custom solid colors using the 
   Mockup Generator.
