General Safari font size: any way to adjust it

[Max(IT)]

my eyesight is still good, despite the aging, but I feel the font size of Safari being a little too small sometimes.
Is there any way to change it ?

I think you're out of luck in IOS9. The best you can do is tap Reader view on pages that permit it.

I don't know why since it works on OS X

Pinch to zoom?!

In iOS 9 ?

Pinch to zoom?!

In some occasion it's just not feasible

Landscape view can help at times. The zoom accessibility options can likely be of some help at times too.

Font sizes are specified by the website itself, not by Safari.

There's that, but then various browsers (especially desktop ones) still allow for increasing the size of the content and keeping it that way for browsing via zoom at least. Seems like mobile approach to that is somewhat different so far.

Not a true adjustment but unfortunately this is all you can do in safari.
Use this link:

javascript:var%20p=document.getElementsByTagName('*');for(i=0;i%3Cp.length;i++)%7Bif(p%5Bi%5D.style.fontSize)%7Bvar%20s=parseInt(p%5Bi%5D.style.fontSize.replace(%22px%22,%22%22));%7Delse%7Bvar%20s=12;%7Ds+=2;p%5Bi%5D.style.fontSize=s+%22px%22%7D

...copy and paste it as a new bookmark named zoom. Then save the bookmark. Now, for only the current page you are viewing, go to bookmarks and click your zoom bookmark. It will zoom all text 1x. You can keep going bigger by clicking the bookmark again.

It's a PITA and its ridiculous you can't just adjust font size, but that's the sandbox we live in!
Oh, btw, if you reload the page or click the next or back page, it's back to small.

If you're open to trying new browsers, Mercury lets you set a font size in its settings and it saves it until you change it.
It's not as nice as safari (has some quirks), but if your eyesight is letting you not read safari too easily, I'd say it's worth it.
