80/100 Strong

Scores above 94% of 1,252 multi-step funnels we have measured. Among the 959 saas funnels in that group, above 93%.

How this was measured

Coverage 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.

Measured by Roentgen 1.25.1, one of our versioned rulesets. A capture is read once and its measurements freeze there, so the stamp says which ruleset read this one.

Walk 60 links seen, 38 walkable, 1 matched, and we walked 3 pages.

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

16 run · 4 flagged

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

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

Readability & contrast1 flagged

Text contrast (WCAG AA) needs workcontrast:text-contrast-wcag-aa

63% of measurable text passes WCAG AA. 4+ runs fail. 17% of text was unmeasurable (over images/gradients). not counted either way.

worst: “Find My Journalists” at 1:1 (14px, #ffffff on #ffffff). needs 4.5:1

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

Mobile & tap targetsclear

Mobile viewport passesmobile:mobile-viewport

Responsive viewport meta is present.

Typography1 flagged

Body text size needs worktype:body-text-size

Smallest body text is 8px (base ~16px). below the ~16px readable floor.

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

Line length notetype:line-length

7 paragraphs run past ~95 characters per line.

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

Accessibility hygieneclear

Language declared passesa11y:language-declared

html[lang] is set for screen readers.

Image alt text passesa11y:image-alt-text

All 30 content images carry alt text.

Form labels notea11y:form-labels

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

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

Heading levels notea11y:heading-levels

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

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

Label in name notea11y: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.

fix Make the accessible name start with the visible label text.

Weight & delivery1 flagged

Page weight not measurableweight:page-weight

At least 2.6 MB across 169 measurable resources, but 119 cross-origin resources did not expose a size. The true weight cannot be determined from the page.

Render-blocking resources noteweight:render-blocking-resources

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

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

Oversized images needs workweight:oversized-images

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

“fastcompany-bw2.png” is 579px wide, displayed at 98px

fix Serve responsive sizes (srcset/sizes) matching the rendered width.

Structure & reachabilityclear

Landmark regions notestructure:landmark-regions

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

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

Keyboard reachability notestructure:keyboard-reachability

4 elements look clickable but cannot be reached by keyboard.

“Medialyst”, “lyst”, “Medialyst”

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

Form usability1 flagged

Input types needs workforms:input-types

1 field uses type="text" for email or phone. mobile keyboards will not adapt.

“email”

fix Use type="email" / type="tel" so phones show the right keyboard.

Inline validation passesforms:inline-validation

2 fields carry validation attributes (required/pattern/aria-invalid).

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.
