WCAG 2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum) · Level AA

Some tap targets are smaller than 24 by 24 pixels and too close together, which makes them hard to hit on a phone.

## 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
### On any website
1. Increase the clickable area of small links and buttons with padding or min-width/min-height, or add space between them.

### On Shopify
1. Increase the clickable area of small links and buttons with padding or min-width/min-height, or add space between them.

### On WooCommerce and WordPress
1. 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.
