My Google webmaster account is reporting, “Mobile Usability > Clickable elements too close together.” But when I look at the Enfold theme’s spacing there is plenty of space between elements. Google references this link as the explanation of the problem,
The only description on the page that seems to address the issue is found in this paragraph.
Finally, when your design is displayed on a mobile device, you should ensure that interactive elements like buttons or links are large enough, and have enough space around them, to make them easy to press without accidentally overlapping onto other elements. This benefits all users, but is especially helpful for anyone with a motor impairment.
Google is flagging 29 pages as unacceptable on mobile devices. Here is one of them,

It is not obvious to me what Google is complaining about. Has someone seen this before? If so, what is the solution? Should I make the font size larger on mobile devices or is it a spacing problem?
Thank you,

Hey John,
I’ve heard about others getting the same messages before, but it’s difficult for us to do anything if we don’t know exactly what elements they refer to. In general, you can ignore messages like that if you don’t actually think there are any usability problems on your site yourself. Try to go through the pages and click on all the links; are any of them to close together? If so then please point them out to us and we’ll give you some code to use.
Best regards,
Rikard
