Touch Target Size
Check that all clickable areas are at least 44×44 px in size — important for touch operation.
Function in one sentence — and in three sentences
Minimum clickable areas are a particular concern on touch devices: buttons that are too small are difficult to use for people with motor impairments, seniors, or those with large thumbs. WCAG 2.5.5 requires a minimum of 44x44 CSS pixels.
The module checks all clickable areas (buttons, links, icons) against the minimum size and reports elements that are too small.
Technical measures
- Click area detection: all `
- Effective size calculation: takes into account `padding`, `border`, `box-sizing`.
- Spacing checkIt also checks whether neighboring targets are too close together (spacing tolerance).
- Auto-Padding-Fix (optional, cautious): adds `padding` to achieve 44×44 — only for clearly identified buttons.
- Issue Map: visual heatmap in the admin panel showing which elements are too small.
You can find these settings in the module tab.
- Minimum size: WCAG 2.5.5 (44×44) / strict (48×48) / iOS recommendation (44×44)
- Auto-fix mode: report only / with explicit whitelist pattern / aggressive
- Heatmap in Admin: on / off
- Spacing tolerance (default: 8 px between targets)

Mandatory for every mobile site (which is practically every one). Particularly critical for online shops, booking sites, and clubs with registration forms.
That fits together thematically.

Accessible forms
