After one of my clients sent me a link to Google’s Mobile Friendly test (in relation to some changes coming on the 21st April ) I decided to run the test on my discourse site: Introduction to Lighthouse | Chrome for Developers Learn how to set up Lighthouse to audit your web apps. …

I believe this was covered at some length in https://meta.discourse.org/t/google-webmaster-tools-warns-of-mobile-usability-issues-due-to-images-in-topics/23974

That thread is about images, but the error message I’m getting relates to links being too close together.

Might have to do with your CSS edits. I have the default theme with just a few slight minor changes and I have the same result as this meta.discourse. It works just fine.

It looks like talk.birmingham has this CSS for links that I don’t see for meta background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; I don’t know if that would give links too less of a distinct tap target, but maybe?

Thanks for the suggestions. I’m doing a tidy up of my CSS soon, I’ll see if that makes a difference.

The category pages have a warning in this test for me saying the links are too near. I also have a few topics with a warning for horizontal scroll. I am using version v1.4.0.beta10 +273 with a not used adsense plugin, and the discourse-tagging plugin. No custom css/html.

Huh, it doesn’t display my discourse installation’s site at all. Strange.
