Zooming is disabled

Message shown by axe and Lighthouse: Zooming and scaling must not be disabled · meta-viewport · WCAG 1.4.4

What it means and why it matters

user-scalable=no or maximum-scale=1 prevents people with low vision from enlarging the page (WCAG 1.4.4).

How to fix it

Remove user-scalable=no and maximum-scale limits from the viewport meta tag.

Code example

Before

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no">

After

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
