WCAG 2.5.5 Target Size
Level AAA
Touch targets must be at least 44×44 CSS pixels, except where a target is inline in text or set by the user agent.
Common failures
- Icon-only buttons are 24×24 with no padding, hard to hit on mobile.
How to fix
- Pad small icons so the hit area meets 44×44.
- Space adjacent targets so accidental taps are unlikely.
