Mobile-Readable Font Sizes
Action
74% of visible text renders at >= 12 CSS px (28 below threshold)
REVIEW
74% of visible text renders at >= 12 CSS px (28 below threshold)
Warning::
28 text node(s) render below 12 CSS pixels on mobile
Mobile browsers default the root font-size to 16 px; text below ~ 12 px (75% of root) is hard to read without zooming. WCAG 1.4.4 (Resize Text) requires the page to support 200% zoom without loss of functionality -- which most layouts handle, but small base text still costs readability and conversion. Audit which selectors set sizes below 12 px (often footers, fine print, table cells) and bump them to 14-16 px or use rem units that scale with user preferences. Examples: <div> 11.0px ("Network: Topics Insider"); <div> 11.0px ("Sunday, 8 November 2026"); <p> 11.0px ("Truth, News, Tech & Finance Editorial"); <a> 11.0px ("Home"); <a> 11.0px ("Finance").
