Options to update Meta Viewport html "maximum-scale=1"

TCProvisions — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 19:54:26 GMT

When testing accessibility issues on my site tablecraftprovisions.com, using Google's Lighthouse tool, I'm alerted that html for meta viewport will not allow users to zoom due to "maximum-scale=1" in the html string.

Is there a location within the Square UI where I can update this value to meet WCAG standards? Looking into this issue with Google searches, Gemeni alerts that "Using maximum-scale=1" in the viewport meta tag is a severe accessibility violation as it prevents users from zooming, violating WCAG 1.4.4 - Resize Text AA standard. It restricts users with visual impairments from magnifying text and creates issues for mobile users with motor control difficulties. The standard practice is to remove maximum-scale=1 and user-scalable=no to allow scaling, as recommended by modern HTML5 best practices"

Looking for options to resolve this issue - any thoughts?
