I'm 53 and I'm at least five years behind getting my specs sorted out - they are currently perched right on the end of my nose now and I have to get the angle right sometimes (astigmatism). That page is nearly fine for me but I just hit CRTL + to scale up. That works for me. That page is pure text with no or at least minimal fiddling. You have your solution for your use case and I have mine. A blind reader will also have their solution, so they can even access it. Thanks to the simplicity of the source: all solutions to accessibility are also going to be reasonably simple. I think that Dan understands how to communicate effectively - keep it simple and don't assume that eyes will read your words. You can trivially (and you do) fiddle with the presentation yourself for your own purposes. I think that if you don't like the presentation of something like this then you could reformat it yourself, prior to engagement. Dan has kindly provided his message as a simple text stream that can be trivially fiddled with.

  I assume you use some sort of gesture. Hit F1 to find out how to do it.

  Pass the page through a screen reader and listen to the ensuing podcast. Try using some imagination!

  Click on reader view. Then you can customise reader view from the menu and set it to how you want it. Then every time you click on reader view you can read in the font and size that works for you.

  Pinch to zoom, which since basically pinch to zoom was invented should reflow elements.

    Pinch to zoom magnifies part of the page. That’s less helpful for text because you have to scroll the smaller viewport to read a complete line of text. On iOS, there’s a text scale button in the URL bar which does the trick.
