What Are the Most Common Issues in Website Testing?
Every website needs to serve the visitors no matter where they are. If a website is created for different languages, cultures, and currencies, adequate testing is crucial. The developer needs to know what it looks like from a visitor's perspective, regardless of where the visitor is coming from.

Location Restrictions
With cross-browser compatibility, responsiveness, performance, usability, and other important factors that require testing, geo-location testing often gets ignored. There's no way for a developer in Paris to make sure a visitor from Berlin or anywhere else in the world will have a great experience with the website.

Accurate Testing Environments
To create a flawless website testing environment, it's crucial to mimic an actual website visitor. This includes using the correct software, device type, and the right IP address. There are countless ways to emulate software and device fingerprints. However, only an original IP can guarantee accurate testing results.

Localization Testing
Languages, time zone changes, pricing, and currencies, different offerings - all these factors need to work as intended for the visitor to feel like a website was made for a local market. If a business plans to grow and expand to other markets worldwide, adequate localization testing is a must.
