3. Text resize
Does the website/app/product support resizing text?
Reference: Understanding Success Criterion 1.4.4
How to test:
- Using your device and/or browser settings to change the default text size. Alternatively, if it is a custom device like a printer does it offer a setting to increase the text size?
- On a web browser, use "Ctrl +" and "Ctrl –" to increase and decrease the text size. Ideally, text up to 400% zoom increase in size and still be readable.
- On a mobile/tablet device, you can increase the size of text using the device accessibility settings. If text does not change size at all, or becomes obscured when resized, it fails.
- Often, increasing text size will adopt a responsive view (mobile or tablet view). All content and functionality should also be available in the mobile/tablet view in at least some way.
Tips:
Test the settings on a variety of devices including desktop, mobile, and tablet.
