I am using this code to load a URL in a WKWebView

let request = URLRequest(url: URL)
webView.load(request)

When I load it the webview looks way to zoomed in. What could be the cause of this? I have looked through all of the settings and I don't see anything that clearly would solve this. I have tried different content modes with no effect.

This seems like a CSS issue which the web developer must resolve. This page has not been checked on mobile browsers thoroughly it seems. Does this URL load correctly in Safari? – n00bProgrammer Jul 03 '18 at 13:19

@n00bProgrammer It loads fine in safari on the phone, though. – linuxer Jul 03 '18 at 13:20
Does this page have javascript? I believe this is a preferences issue (refer [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47252588/difference-between-wkwebview-and-safari)) – n00bProgrammer Jul 03 '18 at 13:25
Can you post more code? This seems like a problem with the configuration. – Mitul Jindal Jul 03 '18 at 13:34
@MitulJindal That is literally all the code I am using to load the URL. – linuxer Jul 03 '18 at 13:38
How are you instantiating the webview and how are you displaying it? – Mitul Jindal Jul 03 '18 at 13:39
@MitulJindal I have the webview in a viewcontroller on the storyboard. Originally it is hidden, and when I click the link I send it to front and unhide. – linuxer Jul 03 '18 at 13:42
@n00bProgrammer I tried following what you suggested with no luck. – linuxer Jul 03 '18 at 13:46
There is WebKit view and a webview. I hope you are using the former. – Mitul Jindal Jul 03 '18 at 14:03
@MitulJindal I am using the WKWebView NOT UIWebView – linuxer Jul 03 '18 at 14:05

I have fixed the issue by creating a configuration and setting the ignoresViewportScaleLimits = false – linuxer Jul 03 '18 at 14:09
