Improve Accessibility by Allowing Sufficient Zoom

Mobile Analyzer

What is this warning?

Your viewport tag is restricting how much users can zoom in on your page. This is a major accessibility problem for users with low vision who rely on zooming to read content. Web accessibility guidelines recommend allowing users to scale up to 500%, so a restrictive value fails to meet this standard.

How to Fix This Issue

How to Fix It

The Problem

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0">

The Solution

The best practice is to simply remove the `maximum-scale` attribute altogether. If you must set it, ensure it is `5.0` or higher.

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

Why This Works

Removing zoom restrictions is a critical step for web accessibility. It ensures that all users, regardless of visual ability, can comfortably access and read your content.
