WCAG 2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum)
How to fix: Tap targets must be big enough
Buttons, links and other controls should be at least 24×24 CSS pixels, or have 24px of spacing around them, so people with limited dexterity or on touchscreens do not hit the wrong one. New in WCAG 2.2.
The fix
Make clickable targets at least 24×24 CSS pixels, or leave 24px of spacing around smaller ones, so they are easy to tap accurately (WCAG 2.2).
