Goal

  • Allow users to adapt the rendering to their needs or preferences, by means of the graphic zoom.
  • Improve your positioning in web crawlers that take this criterion into account.
  • Improve compatibility with mobile terminals.

Implementation

Do not use any zoom blocking mechanism, and in particular, do not use the minimum-scale, maximum-scale, and user-scalable attributes of the meta viewport element.

Control

Check on a touch screen device that the view can be magnified with the browser's touch zoom control.
