Before you share your interactive greeting with friends, family or WhatsApp groups, take a moment to check that everything works smoothly.
Even small improvements can make the experience feel more polished, more magical — and far more professional.
1. Test the loading time
Open your card on both Wi-Fi and mobile data. It should load in under 3 seconds on most devices.
Large images, heavy animations or unoptimized JavaScript can slow things down.
2. Check touch interaction on iPhone and Android
Touch interactions behave differently across devices. Test these actions:
- tap
- drag
- long press
- scroll + tap
If anything feels unresponsive, adjust the event listeners.
3. Confirm that the share preview looks correct
Send the link to yourself on WhatsApp.
Check for:
- a clean thumbnail image
- a readable title
- a short, engaging description
If the preview is missing, review your Open Graph meta tags.
4. Verify the link works inside apps
Some apps open links using in-app browsers, which behave differently from Safari or Chrome.
Test your card inside:
- WhatsApp browser
- Instagram browser
- Facebook browser
If an element breaks, force the link to open in the system browser.
5. Check the responsive layout
Rotate the phone. Try small screens and large ones. Your interface should never “jump”, overflow or shrink awkwardly.
6. Make sure animations do not lag
Too many animations running at once can create stutters on older phones. Limit the number of simultaneous effects.
7. Validate your audio (if present)
If your card includes sound, ensure:
- it doesn’t autoplay on iOS (forbidden)
- the play button is visible and clear
- volume starts low
8. Keep your core file lightweight
Try to keep your main JavaScript under 150–200 KB compressed, and avoid unnecessary libraries.
Interactive cards shine when they load fast.
Conclusion
A quick 2-minute technical check can elevate your interactive card from “just a link” to a polished, delightful micro-experience people will love to open — and share.
