2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum)
Pointer targets are at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels or have enough space around them, with exceptions such as links in a sentence.
Level AA, new in WCAG 2.2
What the automated checks look for
Targets are smaller than 24 by 24 pixels
This target is small and close to others, so it is easy to miss with a pointer.
Who it affects. People with tremors, limited dexterity or large fingers tap the wrong control, or miss it altogether.
How to fix it. Make the control at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels, or leave enough space that a 24px circle centered on it doesn't overlap another target or its circle.
