WCAG 1.4.4 Resize Text Level AA
Who this affects
Zoom is disabled, so anyone who needs to enlarge the text cannot.
How to fix it
Remove user-scalable=no and maximum-scale from the viewport meta tag.
How much work is it?
Usually a template or design change. That is a rough guide for planning, not an estimate for your codebase. A single content edit repeated across a template is a template change.
What a person still has to check
Passing this rule does not mean 1.4.4 passes. Automation checks part of the criterion, and the rest is a judgement:
Zoom the browser to 200% and confirm nothing is cut off or overlapping.

Where this check comes from
This is an axe-core rule. We run axe in a real browser on every page we scan. Deque’s reference for meta-viewport
Find out whether your site does this
A scan checks this rule on every page it visits, and shows you the code and a screenshot of each place it fires.
