    Most of those “small” (legacy) icons, including Twitter, are already compressed. Page Speed is probably giving a false positive.

    Since you’re optimizing, you should switch to the new “Large” icons in AddToAny settings. They’re actually lighter, faster loading, and look better across devices.

    I am getting on Google PageInsights Mobile
    “Some of the links/buttons on your webpage may be too small for a user to easily tap on a touchscreen. Consider making these tap targets larger to provide a better user experience.”
    and

    any suggestions how to rectify this?

    AddToAny’s larger icons, which are 32 square pixels each, have sufficiently large tap targets. The share links in the the universal menu also have large tap targets as of last week.

    Thanks.. I use 32 large but am still getting this message today “Some of the links/buttons on your webpage may be too small for a user to easily tap on a touchscreen. Consider making these tap targets larger to provide a better user experience.”

    The tap target and 3 others are close to other tap targets.

    Is there an update of the plugin? I have version 1.5

    You should disregard that suggestion for certain site elements such as share buttons.

    For example, Google suggests 48 pixels and 32 pixels of space between each tap target, but Google’s own share buttons on YouTube actually match AddToAny’s default size and margins.

    If you’d like to try increasing your button size to 48 pixels, select “Custom” for icon size in AddToAny settings. For an additional 32 pixels of space between icons (it looks ridiculous), you could add this line of CSS code using a “custom CSS” plugin or by adding it to your theme’s main stylesheet:

    .addtoany_list a { padding: 32px !important; }
