What this rule checks
Ensure touch targets have sufficient size and space.
Why it matters
WCAG 2.5.8 (new in WCAG 2.2) requires targets of at least 24×24 CSS pixels or enough spacing around them.
How to fix it
- Increase the clickable area of small links and buttons with padding or min-width/min-height, or add space between them.
How to check the fix
- Re-scan, then try the controls on a phone.
How FixReports finds it
Our scan runs the axe-core rule target-size in a real Chrome browser on every page it tests, and reports each failing element with its page, its markup and, where it applies, a screenshot.
An automated test confirms that this specific problem is present. It can't tell whether the rest of the page is accessible: some barriers only show up when a person checks the page.
