How this was measured

Measured by Roentgen 1.27.0 on 2026-09-21. 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 7 that apply to a content funnel. A low count means we did not detect those patterns, not that the funnel is weak.

Walk 61 links on the entry page, 57 walkable. 3 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.

How well it’s built

13 run · 6 flagged

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

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

6 of 12 measured checks need work1 could not be measured — not counted either way

Text contrast (WCAG AA)

contrast:text-contrast-wcag-aa

69% of measurable text passes WCAG AA. 4+ runs fail. 24% of text was unmeasurable (over images/gradients). not counted either way.

worst: “Music” at 3.6:1 (14px, #e8580f 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 12px, 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×, tight enough to hurt readability.

FixSet body line-height to ~1.4-1.6×.

Render-blocking resources

weight:render-blocking-resources

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

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

Oversized images

weight:oversized-images

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

“directoryfire-logo.png” is 1800px wide, displayed at 370px

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

Tap-target size (mobile)

mobile:tap-target-size-mobile

134 of 145 interactive targets are under 44×44px on mobile.

smallest: “Home” at 68×42px

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

Worth knowing3

Heading structure

The landing page has no <h1>.

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

a11y:heading-structure
Label in name

3 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

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.
