How this was measured
Measured by Roentgen 1.30.0 on 2026-10-19. 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 1,908 multi-step funnels, more conversion tactics than 54% of them.
Walk 116 links on the entry page, 80 walkable. 4 matched a funnel step; we captured 4 pages in all, this one included.

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.

Line height
type:Body line-height is 1×, tight enough to hurt readability.
FixSet body line-height to ~1.4-1.6×.
Language declared
a11y:No html[lang] attribute. screen readers can’t pick the right voice.
FixAdd lang="en" (or the page’s language) to <html>.
Named controls
a11y:6 buttons/links have no accessible name (icon-only, no aria-label).
FixAdd aria-label to icon-only buttons and links.
Render-blocking resources
weight:13 stylesheets/scripts in <head> block first paint.
FixDefer non-critical JS (defer/async) and inline only critical CSS.
Tap-target size (mobile)
mobile:381 of 408 interactive targets are under 44×44px on mobile.
smallest: “BLOG” at 29×30px
FixGive tappable controls a ≥44×44px hit area. the touch minimum.

Line length
11 paragraphs run past ~95 characters per line.
FixCap measure at ~60-75ch for comfortable reading.
type:Form labels
1 form field relies on placeholder text as the only label.
FixBack placeholders with a real <label>. placeholder text vanishes on input.
a11y:Link text
40 links use generic text (“click here” / “learn more”).
FixMake link text describe its destination out of context.
a11y:Heading levels
2 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:Skip link
No same-page “skip to content” link was found. Keyboard users tab through the whole nav on every page.
FixAdd a first-in-DOM <a href="#main"> that is visible on focus.
a11y:Label in name
8 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.
a11y:Oversized images
4 images are shipped at more than 2x the width shown.
FixServe responsive sizes (srcset/sizes) matching the rendered width.
weight:Keyboard reachability
3 elements look clickable but cannot be reached by keyboard.
FixUse <button>/<a>, or add role + tabindex="0" and a key handler.
structure:Not measurable1
Page weight
At least 3.8 MB across 315 measurable resources, but 333 cross-origin resources did not expose a size. The true weight cannot be determined from the page.

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.
