How this was measured

Measured by Roentgen 1.27.0 on 2026-09-11. A capture is read once and its measurements freeze there, so the stamp says which ruleset read this one.

This is detection coverage, not a verdict — it counts the conversion tactics we could prove are present, out of the 11 that apply to a saas funnel. A low count means we did not detect those patterns, not that the funnel is weak.

Against all 1,781 multi-step funnels, more conversion tactics than 54% of them.

Walk 195 links on the entry page, 142 walkable. 3 matched a funnel step; we captured 4 pages in all, this one included.

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.

How well it’s built

18 run · 10 flagged

contrast, mobile, typography, accessibility, weight — each with what would fix it

measuredextracted directly from the live page. a fact, not an opinion

10 of 18 measured checks need work

Text contrast (WCAG AA)

contrast:text-contrast-wcag-aa

91% of measurable text passes WCAG AA. 4+ runs fail.

worst: “Integrate your logs, metrics, traces, and errors into your e” at 3.72:1 (16px, #646e87 on #0f101a). needs 4.5:1

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

Body text size

type:body-text-size

Smallest sampled text is 10px, below the 13px floor this check uses.

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

Line height

type:line-height

Body line-height is 1.2×, tight enough to hurt readability.

FixSet body line-height to ~1.4-1.6×.

Language declared

a11y:language-declared

No html[lang] attribute. screen readers can’t pick the right voice.

FixAdd lang="en" (or the page’s language) to <html>.

Image alt text

a11y:image-alt-text

43 of 65 content images (66%) have no alt attribute.

FixAdd descriptive alt to content images; alt="" for purely decorative ones.

Named controls

a11y:named-controls

159 buttons/links have no accessible name (icon-only, no aria-label).

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

Page weight

weight:page-weight

At least 5.1 MB across 259 measurable resources. 381 cross-origin resources did not expose a size, so the real total is higher.

FixCompress and lazy-load below-the-fold media; drop unused third-party scripts.

Oversized images

weight:oversized-images

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

“ebpf-service-map-13ad9019.jpg” is 2625px wide, displayed at 875px

FixServe responsive sizes (srcset/sizes) matching the rendered width.

Landmark regions

structure:landmark-regions

No <main> or <header> or <footer> landmark. screen-reader users cannot jump between regions.

FixWrap the page in <header>, <main> and <footer> (or matching ARIA roles).

Tap-target size (mobile)

mobile:tap-target-size-mobile

232 of 283 interactive targets are under 44×44px on mobile.

smallest: “Telemetry” at 58×13px

FixGive tappable controls a ≥44×44px hit area. the touch minimum.

Worth knowing6

Line length

3 paragraphs run past ~95 characters per line.

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

type:line-length
Form labels

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

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

a11y:form-labels
Heading levels

2 headings skip a level (e.g. <h2> followed by <h4>). Screen-reader users navigate by this outline.

FixStep heading levels one at a time; use CSS for size, not a deeper level.

a11y:heading-levels
Render-blocking resources

5 stylesheets/scripts in <head> block first paint.

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

weight:render-blocking-resources
Keyboard reachability

26 elements look clickable but cannot be reached by keyboard.

FixUse <button>/<a>, or add role + tabindex="0" and a key handler.

Playbook match — which funnel play this page runs — measured, evidence-quoted

We ran this pass on the pages we captured and found nothing to show. That is a measurement of this funnel, not a recommendation — and it is a different statement from a layer we never ran, which does not appear here at all.
