What could be causing the flickering issue on mobile when previewing a company site rebuild in Webflow using the Chrome app on an iPhone XR?

There could be several potential causes for flickering issues when previewing a website on a mobile device through the Webflow Chrome app. Here are a few possible explanations and solutions:

1. Slow internet connection: If your mobile device has a slow or unstable internet connection, it could lead to flickering issues when loading the site. Ensure that you have a stable internet connection, preferably using a reliable Wi-Fi network, and try previewing the site again.

2. Compatibility issues: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the Webflow Chrome app and that your iPhone XR is running the latest version of iOS. Outdated software can sometimes cause compatibility issues, leading to flickering or other display issues. Additionally, check if any third-party plugins or custom code on your site might be causing conflicts with the Webflow app.

3. Resource-intensive elements: Flickering can occur if there are resource-intensive elements on your website, such as large images, videos, or complex animations. These elements might take longer to load, causing flickering until they are completely rendered. Optimize your website by compressing images, reducing the size of videos, and optimizing animations to improve loading times.

4. CSS conflicts or errors: Review your site's CSS code to ensure there are no conflicting styles or errors that could result in flickering on mobile devices. Check for duplicated CSS classes, conflicting media queries, or any code that modifies elements that are critical to the layout. Use the Webflow Designer's style panel to inspect and troubleshoot your CSS code.

5. JavaScript conflicts or errors: If your site includes custom JavaScript code or relies on third-party JavaScript libraries, conflicts or errors can lead to flickering. Review your JavaScript code for any errors, console.log messages, or conflicts with other scripts. Use the browser's developer tools, such as Chrome's DevTools, to inspect for any JavaScript-related issues and debug them accordingly.

6. Hardware limitations: It is worth noting that older mobile devices or devices with limited processing power may struggle to render complex websites smoothly. The iPhone XR is a relatively new device, but it's still possible that hardware limitations could contribute to flickering issues. Testing the site on different devices and browsers can help determine if it's specific to the iPhone XR or a more general issue.

If the flickering issue persists after trying these solutions, you might consider reaching out to Webflow support for further assistance. They can provide more specific troubleshooting guidance and help identify any potential bugs or platform-related issues that may be causing the problem.
