  Sometimes, you need to check for the scripts that load different type of site which is designed just for the mobile phones. I usually check it out with https://www.responsinator.com/

^^ What he said.

Sometimes refresh after you resize. Some scripts load upon page initiation but don't work with window resizing.

There are several sites that can be used to test responsiveness, I like Screenfly / Test Your Website at Different Screen Resolutions

Use cybercrab. You can also resize your browser window but you should know that even if this method works doesn't means that your design is fully responsive

The only way to completely be sure that site is not responsive is to visit on a mobile device. Just because a site is not built to be resizable doesn't mean that they aren't using an agent script (like many of us do) to send mobile visitors to specific mobile pages.

Never used any "agent script"...

I am using Test responsive design » responsivedesigntest.net for testing or just resizing the browser.

If a site is using an UA (User Agent) detection script it would send the user to a mobile version when a mobile phone is detected.

You might fake User Agents by using any addons for your browser (e.g. User-Agent Switcher for Google Chrome).

Thanks

Yep, that's what I meant. Thanks for the correction.

Screenfly / Test Your Website at Different Screen Resolutions can cloak the user-agent, you just have to activate "use proxy" feature (the eye -icon)

But the thing is, that everyone don't want to surf the web in fullscreen on the computers. So a truely responsive design should also accommodate changing window and screen sizes.

Thanks
