Testing Your QR Code ​

Before printing or sharing widely:

  1. Test on multiple devices — iOS, Android, different scanner apps
  2. Check load speed — should load in under 2 seconds
  3. Verify links — click every link
  4. Test responsiveness — different screen sizes
  5. Check analytics — confirm tracking works

Testing

Use your phone's camera app to scan. Most modern smartphones have built-in QR scanning.
