How this was measured

Every figure on this page was read off the live site by Roentgen 1.27.0 on 2026-09-08, a script that reads page structure, computed CSS and matched text. No AI judgment, nothing estimated, and a capture’s numbers stay as read.

Detection coverage, not a verdict. A low count means we did not detect those patterns, not that the funnel is weak.

Absence is a measurement, not a recommendation: we do not know why a tactic is missing, whether it belongs here, or whether adding it would change anything. Where a walk stopped early, a tactic living deeper would also read as not detected.

  • 4 Need work
  • 3 Worth knowing
  • 3 Clear
  • 2 Not measurable

    Defer non-critical JS (defer/async) and inline only critical CSS.

    What this measures
  • Oversized images

    22 images are shipped at more than 2x the width shown.

    “faviconV2?client=SOCIAL&type=FAVICON&fal” is 128px wide, displayed at 28px

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

  • Label in name

    2 controls have an aria-label that does not contain its visible text, so voice-control users cannot activate it by saying what they see.

    Make the accessible name start with the visible label text.
