    What are the disadvantages of using viewport tag in body?

    I am having a website(shopify) in which some pages are responsive and other are not.
    I append viewport tag in <head> only if the page is responsive.
    Now, the problem is that it loads desktop version first and after checking the page for responsive it loads mobile version, which is a very bad user experience.

    Adding viewport inside <body> solves this problem but I am not sure that this is valid HTML.

    No it’s not.

    This sounds like something else is wrong.

    Not really…your site should load properly based on the viewport tag and media queries.

    Without more information it’s hard to comment.
