How this was measured
Measured by Roentgen 1.20.1 on 2026-08-09. 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 5 that apply to a content funnel. Per device: desktop 30 · mobile 25.
Walk 17 links on the entry page, 9 walkable. 2 matched a funnel step; we captured 3 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 length
28 paragraphs run past ~95 characters per line.
FixCap measure at ~60-75ch for comfortable reading.
type: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
3 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:Render-blocking resources
4 stylesheets/scripts in <head> block first paint.
FixDefer non-critical JS (defer/async) and inline only critical CSS.
weight:Oversized images
3 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.

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.
