Measured UX quality — flags, not opinions. Deterministic, evidence-backed, and kept separate from the conversion score.

Readability & contrast

WCAG AA on measurable text — worst offenders quoted, never a fail we can’t compute.
GOODText contrast (WCAG AA)

98% of measurable text passes WCAG AA.

Mobile & tap targets

Responsive viewport + touch-target sizes where it matters.
GOODMobile viewport

Responsive viewport meta is present.

Typography

Body size, line-height, line length — is the pitch actually readable?
NEEDS WORKBody text size

Smallest body text is 12px (base ~12px) — below the ~16px readable floor.

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

NEEDS WORKLine height

Body line-height is 1× — tight enough to hurt readability.

Set body line-height to ~1.4–1.6×.

Accessibility hygiene

Language, alt text, form labels, named controls, headings, link clarity.
GOODLanguage declared

html[lang] is set for screen readers.

GOODImage alt text

All 39 content images carry alt text.

NEEDS WORKNamed controls

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

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

NOTELink text

3 links use generic text (“click here” / “learn more”).

Make link text describe its destination out of context.
