Description
Hello,
I noticed that the Storefront theme currently outputs the following viewport meta tag in header.php:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
The problem is that the maximum-scale=1 attribute prevents users from zooming on mobile devices. This creates an accessibility issue:
According to WCAG 2.1, Success Criterion 1.4.4 (Resize text), users must be able to zoom up to 200%.
Google PageSpeed Insights / Lighthouse also reports this as an accessibility error.
The recommended fix would be to remove the maximum-scale=1 part, so zooming remains available:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
This small change would ensure Storefront is fully compliant with accessibility standards and would prevent the theme from blocking important mobile functionality.
Request:
Could you please consider updating Storefront’s default viewport meta tag in a future release, so all users benefit from this accessibility improvement without needing to create child themes or overrides?
Thanks in advance for reviewing this!
