89% of measurable text passes WCAG AA. 4+ runs fail. 62% of text was unmeasurable (over images/gradients). not counted either way. Raise text/background contrast to ≥4.5:1 (≥3:1 for large text), especially on CTAs and body copy.

Measured UX quality. flags, not opinions. Deterministic, evidence-backed, and kept separate from the conversion score.

Readability & contrast

WCAG AA on measurable text. worst offenders quoted, never a fail we can’t compute.
NEEDS WORKText contrast (WCAG AA)

89% of measurable text passes WCAG AA. 4+ runs fail. 62% of text was unmeasurable (over images/gradients). not counted either way.

worst: “Cookie Policy” at 2.91:1 (14px, #ff6458 on #ffffff). needs 4.5:1

Raise text/background contrast to ≥4.5:1 (≥3:1 for large text), especially on CTAs and body copy.

Mobile & tap targets

Responsive viewport + touch-target sizes where it matters.
GOODMobile viewport

Responsive viewport meta is present.

Typography

Body size, line-height, line length. is the pitch actually readable?
NEEDS WORKBody text size

Smallest body text is 12px (base ~18px). below the ~16px readable floor.

Keep body copy ≥15-16px; reserve sub-13px for fine print only.

NOTELine length

4 paragraphs run past ~95 characters per line.

Cap measure at ~60-75ch for comfortable reading.

Accessibility hygiene

Language, alt text, form labels, named controls, headings, link clarity.
GOODLanguage declared

html[lang] is set for screen readers.

GOODImage alt text

All 197 content images carry alt text.

NOTEForm labels

2 form fields rely on placeholder text as the only label.

Back placeholders with a real <label>. placeholder text vanishes on input.

NEEDS WORKNamed controls

1 button/link has no accessible name (icon-only, no aria-label).

Add aria-label to icon-only buttons and links.

NOTEHeading structure

The landing page has no <h1>.

Use exactly one <h1> as the page’s title.
