    I’m trying to remove this random spacing at the bottom so the footer sits flush to the bottom, but I cannot figure it out. I’ve tried a bunch of different stuff, still no solution.

    Weird spacing at the bottom of a website is usually caused by one of these common issues:

    1. Extra margin or padding — Check your CSS for margin-bottom or padding-bottom on body, html, or footer elements.
    2. Empty elements — Hidden divs or empty containers can push content down.
    3. Min-height or vh units — A section set to 100vh plus other padding can extend the page.
    4. Absolute/fixed positioning — Sometimes off-screen elements create scroll space.
    5. Browser extensions or developer toolbar — Occasionally, these add overlay spacing.

    How to fix:

    • Use browser dev tools (Inspect → Select bottom area) to see which element is creating the space.
    • Adjust or remove the unnecessary margin/padding.
    • Ensure your footer/content containers are properly closed and styled.

    ✅ Best practice: Always set html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; } as a reset, then build spacing intentionally.
