Mobile / A11y · can they usable?
Viewport meta tag
One line telling a phone browser to render the page at phone width rather than pretending to be a desktop and zooming out.
Why it matters
Without it, phone visitors get a shrunken desktop layout with unreadable text. Google indexes the mobile version of your site, so this affects everyone, not just phone traffic.
How to fix it, step by step
Quick fix — usually under ten minutes, no developer needed.
- 1Add to the page head: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
- 2Every modern WordPress theme includes it. If it is missing, the theme is old or a builder has overwritten the head.
- 3Do not add maximum-scale or user-scalable=no — that blocks pinch-zoom and fails accessibility.
How to know it worked
Open the page on a phone. Text should be readable without pinching.
