25/100 Sparse

Scores above 43% of 525 entry-page captures we have measured. Among the 40 affiliate funnels in that group, above 25%.

Walk 17 links seen, 10 walkable, and 0 matched a funnel step. If this funnel continues past the entry page, we did not reach it — everything below is measured from the entry page alone.

How this was measured

Coverage is detection coverage, not a verdict — it counts the conversion tactics we could prove are present, out of the 10 that apply to an affiliate funnel.

Measured by Roentgen 1.20.1, one of our versioned rulesets. A capture is read once and its measurements freeze there, so the stamp says which ruleset read this one.

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 · 6 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

84% of measurable text passes WCAG AA. 4+ runs fail.

worst: “Search professors” at 2.34:1 (18px, #8eaa4b on #f0f3ec). 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 9px (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

4 paragraphs run past ~95 characters per line.

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

Accessibility hygiene1 flagged

Language declared passesa11y:language-declared

html[lang] is set for screen readers.

Image alt text passesa11y:image-alt-text

All 47 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.

Named controls needs worka11y:named-controls

45 buttons/links have no accessible name (icon-only, no aria-label).

fix Add aria-label to icon-only buttons and links.

Layout integrity1 flagged

Horizontal overflow needs worklayout:horizontal-overflow

The page scrolls ~480px horizontally at 1440px wide. content spills past the viewport.

fix Find the overflowing element (fixed widths, unwrapped rows) and constrain it to 100%.

Weight & delivery2 flagged

Page weight not measurableweight:page-weight

At least 1.3 MB across 86 measurable resources, but 47 cross-origin resources did not expose a size. The true weight cannot be determined from the page.

Render-blocking resources needs workweight:render-blocking-resources

13 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

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

“au.svg” is 1280px wide, displayed at 224px

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).

Form usabilityclear

Autocomplete hints noteforms:autocomplete-hints

No autocomplete attributes across 7 fields. browsers cannot autofill.

fix Add autocomplete="email"/"tel"/"name" to identity fields.

Inline validation passesforms:inline-validation

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