Checks for properly sized touch targets

## Solution

Touch targets (buttons, links) should be at least 44x44 CSS pixels with 8px spacing between them. This ensures users can tap accurately on mobile. Google's mobile-friendly test checks this. Use padding to increase tap area without changing visual size. Pay special attention to navigation links and form inputs.
