WCAG 2.2 target size
Clickable targets should be at least 24 by 24 CSS px (AA), and ideally 44 by 44.
Why it matters
AA requires 24 x 24 px (or enough spacing). 44 x 44 is the stricter AAA level and Apple's guideline, and still a great target to aim for.
How to apply it
- Give icon buttons real padding
- Space small links apart in lists
- Make whole cards or rows clickable where it makes sense
Common mistakes
- Tiny close buttons
- Tightly packed footer links
