How this was measured

Measured by Roentgen 1.27.0 on 2026-09-22. 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 1,864 multi-step funnels, more conversion tactics than 96% of them.

Walk 55 links on the entry page, 51 walkable. 1 matched a funnel step; we captured 2 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.

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

5 of 11 measured checks need work1 could not be measured — not counted either way

Text contrast (WCAG AA)

contrast:text-contrast-wcag-aa

92% of measurable text passes WCAG AA. 1+ runs fail. 89% of text was unmeasurable (over images/gradients). not counted either way.

worst: “Listening...” at 1:1 (12px, #ffffff on #ffffff). 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.

Render-blocking resources

weight:render-blocking-resources

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

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

Oversized images

weight:oversized-images

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

“kindle.png” is 1290px wide, displayed at 220px

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

Tap-target size (mobile)

mobile:tap-target-size-mobile

131 of 158 interactive targets are under 44×44px on mobile.

smallest: “Unmute” at 36×36px

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

Line length

28 paragraphs run past ~95 characters per line.

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

type:line-length
Label in name

4 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.

A match means this funnel's measurable surfaces fit the playbook's pattern — the quoted language is what fired the detection. A lever is one playbook mechanism observed on-page. We never claim what a brand's ads or emails do; a crawl can't see them. All funnel designs →

Two different things sit side by side here. The claim and its quoted evidence are measured on this funnel, the same way every other fact on this page is. The playbook itself is written guidance — our strategy library, not a measurement of this site — and it lives behind the links above. Nothing on this page recommends what this brand should do.
