35/100 Sparse

Scores above 25% of 1,252 multi-step funnels we have measured. Among the 73 affiliate funnels in that group, above 26%.

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 251 links seen, 245 walkable, 4 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

12 run · 3 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

0% of measurable text passes WCAG AA. 4+ runs fail. 53% of text was unmeasurable (over images/gradients). not counted either way.

worst: “We Submit Your SaaS to 140+ Directories Effortlessly” 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

Smallest body text is 12px (base ~14px). 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 hygieneclear

Language declared passesa11y:language-declared

html[lang] is set for screen readers.

Image alt text passesa11y:image-alt-text

All 107 content images carry alt text.

Heading levels notea11y:heading-levels

1 heading skips 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.

Weight & delivery1 flagged

Page weight not measurableweight:page-weight

At least 0.1 MB across 42 measurable resources, but 91 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 needs workweight:oversized-images

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

“icon.svg” is 730px wide, displayed at 40px

fix Serve responsive sizes (srcset/sizes) matching the rendered width.

Structure & reachabilityclear

Keyboard reachability notestructure:keyboard-reachability

19 elements look clickable but cannot be reached by keyboard.

“What kinds of tools does Tools Lis”, “How do I compare tools on Tools Li”, “Who is Tools List HQ for?”

fix Use <button>/<a>, or add role + tabindex="0" and a key handler.
