How this was measured

Measured by Roentgen 1.27.0 on 2026-09-17. 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 640 entry-page captures, more conversion tactics than 79% of them.

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

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

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

7 of 13 measured checks need work

Text contrast (WCAG AA)

contrast:text-contrast-wcag-aa

83% of measurable text passes WCAG AA. 4+ runs fail.

worst: “Lakebase Architecture” at 1:1 (15px, #000000 on #000000). 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×, tight enough to hurt readability.

FixSet body line-height to ~1.4-1.6×.

Named controls

a11y:named-controls

4 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 6.6 MB across 311 measurable resources. 88 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

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

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

Oversized images

weight:oversized-images

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

“data-api-enabled.png?dpl=dpl_J6VFGJtQfjf” is 2312px wide, displayed at 644px

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

Worth knowing3

Line length

2 paragraphs run past ~95 characters per line.

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

type:line-length
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

1 control has 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.

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.
