60/100 Partial

Scores higher than 66% of 1,391 multi-step funnels we have measured. Among the 1,074 saas funnels in that group, higher than 58%.

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 11 that apply to a saas funnel. Per device: desktop 60 · mobile 60.

Walk 117 links on the entry page, 81 walkable. 4 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.

18 run · 7 flagged

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

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

7 of 17 measured checks need work1 could not be measured — not counted either way

Body text size

type:body-text-size

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

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

Line height

type:line-height

Body line-height is 1×. tight enough to hurt readability.

FixSet body line-height to ~1.4-1.6×.

Language declared

a11y:language-declared

No html[lang] attribute. screen readers can’t pick the right voice.

FixAdd lang="en" (or the page’s language) to <html>.

Named controls

a11y:named-controls

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

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

Render-blocking resources

weight:render-blocking-resources

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

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

Oversized images

weight:oversized-images

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

“image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.sanity.io%2F” is 800px wide, displayed at 48px

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

Tap-target size (mobile)

mobile:tap-target-size-mobile

381 of 408 interactive targets are under 44×44px on mobile.

smallest: “BLOG” at 29×30px

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

Worth knowing7

Line length

11 paragraphs run past ~95 characters per line.

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

type:line-length
Form labels

1 form field relies on placeholder text as the only label.

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

a11y:form-labels
Heading levels

2 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

8 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
Keyboard reachability

3 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.
