Quick accessibility test: Content resizing

Zoom is a commonly used feature of all browsers; people zoom in web pages for many different reasons - because they have forgotten their reading glasses, because they are looking at a website on a small screen, or because they have low vision.

The content on your website must resize and reflow as people zoom in. Open your browser menu, find the Zoom functionality and zoom in up to 400%.

A page from the TetraLogical website is loaded in Chrome, the browser menu is opened and the Zoom level is increased to 400%.

Check that all information and functionality remain available and fully legible, and that the content reflows so that there is no need to scroll horizontally to view it.

All content on the page from the TetraLogical website resizes, remains visible and reflows to fit the screen. It is possible to view all content without having to scroll horizontally.

Using responsive design is a great way to ensure that content resizes and reflows as expected.
