How this was measured

Measured by Roentgen 1.27.0 on 2026-09-24. 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 15 that apply to an ecommerce 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 20% of them.

Walk 83 links on the entry page, 65 walkable. 1 matched a funnel step; we captured 3 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.

6 of 16 measured checks need work

Body text size

type:body-text-size

Smallest sampled text is 11px, below the 13px floor this check uses.

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

Named controls

a11y:named-controls

27 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 12.6 MB across 293 measurable resources. 609 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.

Render-blocking resources

weight:render-blocking-resources

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

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

Oversized images

weight:oversized-images

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

“CCL_Reward_Logo.jpg” is 506px wide, displayed at 183px

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

Tap-target size (mobile)

mobile:tap-target-size-mobile

28 of 44 interactive targets are under 44×44px on mobile.

smallest: “Open main menu” at 24×24px

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

Worth knowing7

Image alt text

23 of 133 content images (17%) have no alt attribute.

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

a11y:image-alt-text
Heading structure

The landing page has no <h1>.

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

a11y:heading-structure
Heading levels

3 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
Label in name

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

FixMake the accessible name start with the visible label text.

a11y:label-in-name
Keyboard reachability

73 elements look clickable but cannot be reached by keyboard.

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

structure:keyboard-reachability
Autocomplete hints

No autocomplete attributes across 2 fields. browsers cannot autofill.

FixAdd autocomplete="email"/"tel"/"name" to identity fields.

layers we ran on this funnel that came back empty

Elements — the atomic pieces — price anchors, ratings, guarantees — with their verbatim on-page text

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

We ran these passes 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.
