Unfortunately the text is too small for me to comfortably read, and the website is incompatible with Safari’s Reader Mode.

Command +.

Supporting / allowing Reader Mode would be good.

Install Stylebot. You can set e.g. body { font-size: 125% } for that website.
If you use a trackpad, you can use the scale gesture (pinch-to-zoom, but outwards) to increase the magnification of most web pages. Very useful for those of us past age 40.

On iOS, you can also use the same gesture directly on the screen.

And if that doesn't work (it doesn't for me), the older method should: Hold control and scroll, up to zoom in and down to zoom out.

On iOS you can also tap "aA" button in the URL bar to get to the scale settings.
Thank you!!!

Now I’m really annoyed with myself for not realising this. This insight is up there with the ‘spacebar long press to get a cursor’ thing

set default zoom for browser to 120%, I have mine set to 80% because websites keep increasing font sizes
Firefox reader doesn't work either which is surprising.
