[Support request] Mobile (iOS) Double Tap Link Issue

[MMS]

My site makemesustainable.com seems to have a problem on iOS (Safari – Not sure if this also affects Android etc.) where links require two presses or ‘taps’ to open the link. Once a link has been double-tapped on a page other links on the page work as normal until you visit another page where the problem occurs again. I’ve found this site covering the issue, which seems to indicate a CSS issue, but can’t find a solution https://css-tricks.com/annoying-mobile-double-tap-link-issue/

Hi there,

so navigation links on mobile, if it tap a link and wait a second it loads the link without second tap.

But after clicking a link, to open the Navigation Menu ( Hamburger ) i do have to click twice.
The first click fired a google analytics.js and google tag link. Which shows the click was registered, and it maybe those scripts firing that is part of the problem.

How did you add the google scripts ?

I have Rank Math installed which links through to analytics. I’ve just tried disabling ‘Delay JavaScript Execution’ in WP Rocket which seems to have resolved the issue. The files excluded from this option were:-
/jquery-?[0-9.](.*)(.min|.slim|.slim.min)?.js
/jquery-migrate(.min)?.js
cookie-law-info-public.js

How would I add the Google analytics js and tag link files here to see if that helps?
Thanks

Yeah that would do it 🙂 Try:

/analytics.js

Hi, Unfortunately, that hasn’t worked.:(

Might be worth checking with WP Rocket, i am sure its something simple they would know.
