You can make this site, and most others, easier to read in a few taps. Menu names can differ a little by device and software version.

On any computer: zoom the page

This is the fastest fix. It works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.

  1. Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac).
  2. Press the plus key (+) to make everything bigger. Press it again to go bigger still.
  3. Press minus (-) to go smaller, or 0 (zero) to go back to normal.

Your browser remembers the size for each site.

iPhone and iPad

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap Display & Brightness, then Text Size.
  3. Drag the slider to the right.

For even larger text, go to Settings, then Accessibility, then Display & Text Size, then Larger Text, and turn on Larger Accessibility Sizes.

Android

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap Display (on some phones, Accessibility, then Display size and text).
  3. Tap Font size and drag the slider to the right.

Display size makes buttons and icons bigger too.

Windows

  1. Open Start, then Settings.
  2. Go to Accessibility, then Text size (on Windows 10: Ease of Access, then Display).
  3. Drag the slider to the right, then select Apply.

Mac

  1. Open the Apple menu, then System Settings.
  2. Go to Accessibility, then Display.
  3. Use Text size to choose a larger size.

Reader mode

Reader mode strips a page down to its words, in larger, cleaner type.

  1. Safari: tap or click the Reader button (or aA) in the address bar.
  2. Edge: click the Immersive Reader button in the address bar, or press F9.
  3. Firefox: click the Reader view button in the address bar.
  4. Chrome: open the menu (three dots), then More tools, then Reading mode.
