Old Answer:

From this article

Here’s how you can use Reader in Safari for iPhone or iPad to increase text size of web pages:

  1. Open Safari and go to any webpage with a lot of text, like an article or news piece

  2. From any Safari browser window in iOS, hit the “Reader” button in the URL link bar to enter into Reader View – the Reader button looks like a series of lines atop one another

  3. Once in Reader Mode, tap on the “aA” icon in the corner of the screen

  4. Now tap the larger “A” button on the right side of the popup menu to increase text size

  5. Tap the “A” button repeatedly to dramatically increase the font size of web pages in Safari Reader mode

Although this does not change the text size, you can pinch and zoom.

Lastly, you can change the font size. Although this will not help with Safari it will increase text size in other apps.
