Conversion controls are too small to tap reliably
By Leakly · Published · Updated
01The problem
Interactive elements on the conversion path are below the comfortable touch-target size on mobile.
Mistapped controls on mobile read as a broken site. Visitors do not retry — they leave, and the analytics never records why.
02How Leakly detects it
A structural fact counted in the rendered page, or a measurement against a threshold. Confidence ceiling for this detector family: 96%.
03Proof required
- Elements located in the rendered page, with their position and size.
Without it, the finding is not reported.
04How to fix it
Enlarge the controls on the conversion path.
- Give every tappable control at least 44x44px of target area.
- Add spacing between adjacent controls so a near-miss does not hit the wrong one.
Each audit that finds this leak includes the exact element, a suggested change and, for copy, a rewrite you can paste.
