Your page uses a legacy MobileOptimized meta tag, which instructs some browsers that your page is optimized for mobile. Other browsers, including those on iOS, will render your page as it would appear on a desktop browser.
While the MobileOptimized tag instructs some mobile devices to display the page at the device's width, it should be replaced with a meta viewport specifying <meta name=viewport width=device-width> to increase compatibility.
