50/100 Thin

Scores higher than 49% of 1,391 multi-step funnels we have measured. Among the 157 ecommerce funnels in that group, higher than 84%.

How this was measured

Measured by Roentgen 1.25.1 on 2026-08-15. A capture is read once and its measurements freeze there, so the stamp says which ruleset read this one.

Coverage is detection coverage, not a verdict — it counts the conversion tactics we could prove are present, out of the 15 that apply to an ecommerce funnel. Per device: desktop 50 · mobile 50.

Walk 103 links on the entry page, 86 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.

contrast, mobile, typography, accessibility, weight — each with what would fix it

measuredextracted directly from the live page. a fact, not an opinion

6 of 19 measured checks need work

Body text size

type:body-text-size

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

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

Named controls

a11y:named-controls

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

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

Page weight

weight:page-weight

At least 14.5 MB across 474 measurable resources. 345 cross-origin resources did not expose a size, so the real total is higher.

FixCompress and lazy-load below-the-fold media; drop unused third-party scripts.

Render-blocking resources

weight:render-blocking-resources

47 stylesheets/scripts in <head> block first paint.

FixDefer non-critical JS (defer/async) and inline only critical CSS.

Oversized images

weight:oversized-images

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

“7aqNn2oHUS8NZROG5DxoUp-d7246a46b4e5a1edb” is 1080px wide, displayed at 332px

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

Tap-target size (mobile)

mobile:tap-target-size-mobile

353 of 635 interactive targets are under 44×44px on mobile.

smallest: “open navigation” at 32×21px

FixGive tappable controls a ≥44×44px hit area. the touch minimum.

Worth knowing9

Line length

5 paragraphs run past ~95 characters per line.

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

type:line-length
Form labels

4 form fields rely on placeholder text as the only label.

FixBack placeholders with a real <label>. placeholder text vanishes on input.

a11y:form-labels
Heading structure

The landing page has no <h1>.

FixUse exactly one <h1> as the page’s title.

a11y:heading-structure
Heading levels

3 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:heading-levels
Label in name

62 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
Landmark regions

No <header> landmark. screen-reader users cannot jump between regions.

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

structure:landmark-regions
Keyboard reachability

12 elements look clickable but cannot be reached by keyboard.

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

structure:keyboard-reachability

A match means this funnel's measurable surfaces fit the playbook's pattern — the quoted language is what fired the detection. A lever is one playbook mechanism observed on-page. We never claim what a brand's ads or emails do; a crawl can't see them. All funnel designs →

Two different things sit side by side here. The claim and its quoted evidence are measured on this funnel, the same way every other fact on this page is. The playbook itself is written guidance — our strategy library, not a measurement of this site — and it lives behind the links above. Nothing on this page recommends what this brand should do.
