# Increase the Size of Touch Targets for Better Mobile Usability

Mobile Analyzer

## What is this warning?

A button or link on your page is too small to be easily tapped on a touchscreen. This can be very frustrating for mobile users, who might accidentally tap the wrong thing or struggle to hit the target at all. Google recommends a minimum size for touch targets to ensure a good user experience.

## How to Fix This Issue

### How to Fix It

#### The Problem

A button that is only 20 pixels tall.

#### The Solution

Ensure that all touch targets (buttons, links, form inputs) are at least 48x48 CSS pixels. You can use padding to increase the clickable area without changing the visual design.

```
.button {
  min-height: 48px;
  min-width: 48px;
  padding: 12px;
}
```

#### Why This Works

Larger touch targets are easier to use, reducing user frustration and accidental clicks. This is a key aspect of mobile usability and is considered by Google as part of its mobile-friendly ranking signals.
