Page is not usable on mobile error on GSC

Waifu_tatyana said:

How do I fix this? Should I change my site theme to a more mobile friendly one?

What does the second issue mean? I use some call to action buttons in between my content but they are rendering perfectly on mobile. So what is the problem here?

Increase the font size to at least 20px, and you will solve the problem. If you have small icons (flag icons, social media icons) on that page, make sure you increase the icon size and the space between.

Text too small usually indicate font size below 16 (I think, maybe 14). It may not be your main content text, could be some footer, theme or bio text. I had this problem with text in an author box.

Clickable elements could be anything in content or theme related. I've had this issues with a theme menu, and was related to text size making the links too close.

There is no short answer to this tbh. My suggestion would be to check your site on pagespeed.dev, and fix the errors one by one as you see them. If you don’t know how to, hire someone may be.

I made the necessary changes before too and submitted it to google.
But the thing is when I live test the url it says page is usable on mobile. But this change isn't getting updated on google index somehow. Everytime I open the indexed pages details it shows my page has mobile usability issues but live testing shows my site is usable on mobile.

I did the validation 2-3 times before. But everytime it goes back to the same "page issue" errors.

On topic: Don’t test it on google console. Test it on pagespeed.dev, and wait for google console to pick it up. Also, don’t force a “re crawl”, imo that’s like telling google to not play good with you.

Make sure your page speed score is more than 90 for mobile devices. That should fix all the usability problems.

Do this after the changes mentioned above. You have to wait a few days
