How to fix meta viewport large on Webflow

Steps for Webflow

1. In the Webflow Designer, open Project Settings (gear icon, top left).
2. Go to the 'Custom Code' tab.
3. In the 'Head Code' field, paste a corrected <meta name="viewport"> tag (Webflow's default is already zoom-permissive, so this is only needed if a previous developer added a restrictive override).
4. Publish the site.

What is meta viewport large?

Every webpage can include a small HTML tag called the "meta viewport" tag that tells mobile browsers how to display the page. One option inside that tag, `maximum-scale`, sets an upper limit on how far a user can zoom in. When `maximum-scale` is set to a value less than 5 (for example, `maximum-scale=1` or `user-scalable=no`), it physically prevents visitors from pinching to zoom — meaning they cannot make text or images larger, no matter how hard they try. This is the issue your scanner flagged.

Blocking zoom is a significant accessibility barrier for the roughly 2.2 billion people worldwide who have some form of vision impairment. Many low-vision users rely entirely on browser or OS zoom to read product descriptions, prices, and checkout instructions — locking zoom means they simply cannot use your store. Under WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.4.4 (Resize Text), text must be resizable up to 200% without loss of content or functionality; a zoom-blocking viewport tag directly violates this criterion. This matters legally too: the ADA, EN 301 549 (EU), and equivalent accessibility laws increasingly cite WCAG conformance, so non-compliance creates real litigation and regulatory risk. Fixing it costs almost nothing (a one-line HTML change) and immediately improves usability for every visitor on a mobile device.
