How this was measured

Measured by Roentgen 1.27.0 on 2026-09-13. 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 10 that apply to an affiliate 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 21% 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.

Text contrast (WCAG AA)

contrast:text-contrast-wcag-aa

88% of measurable text passes WCAG AA. 4+ runs fail.

worst: “GA” at 2.08:1 (11px, #ffffff on #f1a262). 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 11px, below the 13px floor this check uses.

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

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.

Tap-target size (mobile)

mobile:tap-target-size-mobile

147 of 180 interactive targets are under 44×44px on mobile.

smallest: “$50k” at 47×25px

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

17 paragraphs run past ~95 characters per line.

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

Label in name

28 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.

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.
