How this was measured

Measured by Roentgen 1.28.1 on 2026-09-29. 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 1,781 multi-step funnels, more conversion tactics than 72% of them.

Walk 101 links on the entry page, 89 walkable. 6 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.

Worth knowing7

Line length

12 paragraphs run past ~95 characters per line.

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

type:line-length
Heading levels

1 heading skips 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:heading-levels
Label in name

5 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:label-in-name
Oversized images

1 image is shipped at more than 2x the width shown.

FixServe responsive sizes (srcset/sizes) matching the rendered width.

FixWrap the page in <header>, <main> and <footer> (or matching ARIA roles).

Keyboard reachability

6 elements look clickable but cannot be reached by keyboard.

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

Elements — the atomic pieces — price anchors, ratings, guarantees — with their verbatim on-page text

Playbook match — which funnel play this page runs — measured, evidence-quoted

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.
