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 1.22.0, one of our versioned rulesets. A capture is read once and its measurements freeze there, so the stamp says which ruleset read this one.
Walk 308 links seen, 302 walkable, 3 matched, and we walked 4 pages.

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
15 run · 2 flaggedcontrast, mobile, typography, accessibility, weight — each with what would fix it
measuredextracted directly from the live page. a fact, not an opinionReadability & contrast1 flagged
Text contrast (WCAG AA) needs workcontrast:text-contrast-wcag-aa
1% of measurable text passes WCAG AA. 4+ runs fail.
worst: “Visit” at 1:1 (12px, #ffffff on #ffffff). 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
Line length notetype:line-length
6 paragraphs run past ~95 characters per line.
fix Cap measure at ~60-75ch for comfortable reading.
Accessibility hygieneclear
Language declared passesa11y:language-declared
html[lang] is set for screen readers.
Image alt text passesa11y:image-alt-text
All 80 content images carry alt text.
Form labels notea11y:form-labels
5 form fields rely on placeholder text as the only label.
fix Back placeholders with a real <label>. placeholder text vanishes on input.
Heading levels notea11y:heading-levels
2 headings skip a level (e.g. <h2> followed by <h4>). Screen-reader users navigate by this outline.
fix Step heading levels one at a time; use CSS for size, not a deeper level.
Skip link notea11y:skip-link
No same-page “skip to content” link was found. Keyboard users tab through the whole nav on every page.
fix Add a first-in-DOM <a href="#main"> that is visible on focus.
Weight & deliveryclear
Page weight not measurableweight:page-weight
At least 0.3 MB across 41 measurable resources, but 67 cross-origin resources did not expose a size. The true weight cannot be determined from the page.
Render-blocking resources passesweight:render-blocking-resources
1 stylesheet/script in <head> block first paint.
fix Defer non-critical JS (defer/async) and inline only critical CSS.
Oversized images noteweight:oversized-images
4 images are shipped at more than 2x the width shown.
“icon-192x192.png” is 192px wide, displayed at 48px
fix Serve responsive sizes (srcset/sizes) matching the rendered width.
Structure & reachabilityclear
Keyboard reachability notestructure:keyboard-reachability
18 elements look clickable but cannot be reached by keyboard.
“What kinds of tools does The Core ”, “How do I compare tools on The Core”, “Who is The Core Tools for?”
fix Use <button>/<a>, or add role + tabindex="0" and a key handler.
Form usabilityclear
Autocomplete hints noteforms:autocomplete-hints
No autocomplete attributes across 5 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).
