What happens at 390px
The table states hasFixedLayout: false, so its columns size to their content instead of being forced into equal fractions of the screen. .wp-block-table is a WordPress core overflow-x: auto container, so once the columns need more room than the phone has, the table becomes a horizontal rail inside its own figure: the page never scrolls sideways, the table does, and every column stays whole. Fixed layout would have shredded the words instead, because core sets word-break: break-word on the cells of a fixed table. The figcaption says the table scrolls, because a scroll container with no affordance is a silent failure of its own. No CSS ships to buy any of this.
Questions
Benchmark matrix: common questions
Does Benchmark matrix need a plugin?
No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (group, heading, paragraph and table), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.
Will Benchmark matrix match my theme?
Yes. It names no colour or font of its own: every colour, size and space is a preset from your theme, so it takes your theme’s palette and type when pasted.
How many variations does Benchmark matrix have?
2: Paper and Night benchmark. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.
Is Benchmark matrix free?
It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 62 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.
Which WordPress version does it need?
Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0 to 7.1. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type.
The markup
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
