“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Adjusting breakpoints in Gantry 5 is primarily handled within the SCSS files of your theme. You should define your variables in the _variables.scss file, specifying the pixel widths where the layout should transition. In 2026, it is recommended to use at least five breakpoints to cover small mobiles, large mobiles, tablets, laptops, and ultra-wide displays. Once defined, these variables are used in media queries throughout your custom SCSS to adjust column widths, font sizes, and visibility of specific particles.”

“name”: “What are Gantry particles and how do they impact mobile performance?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Gantry particles are independent blocks of content and functionality that can be placed anywhere in a layout. They impact mobile performance based on how they are coded and what assets they load. To maintain high performance in 2026, particles should use server-side Twig logic to deliver optimized HTML. Avoid particles that rely on heavy JavaScript libraries for simple visual effects, as this increases the time-to-interactive on mobile devices. Properly optimized particles use lazy-loading for images and minimize external HTTP requests.”

“name”: “Can I use custom CSS to enhance responsiveness in Gantry 5?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Custom CSS is a powerful tool for enhancing responsiveness beyond the default Gantry settings. You can add custom styles in the “Custom CSS/JS” atom or by creating a custom.scss file in your theme’s SCSS directory. This allows you to apply fine-tuned adjustments like fluid typography using the CSS clamp() function or complex CSS Grid layouts that are not possible through the drag-and-drop interface alone. In 2026, using modern CSS features like container queries is also highly effective for making individual particles truly responsive.”

“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
