heading levels should only increase by one; all page content should be contained by landmarks

These do not change the score. The score comes only from the 18 tests; speed and accessibility are reported beside it because a slow or broken page loses people before they read a word.

What will go wrong on launch day.

Fatal · they leave before they understandCostly · they understand and still leaveDrag · it works, and could work better
  1. 01CostlyAudience · A1 failup to +5.6
    “Your complete PDF toolkit”

    A visitor who doesn't feel the tool is specifically for their role or need leaves.

    Proposalyou decide
    Replace the headline with a specific audience, e.g., "The private PDF toolkit for [specific professional]"
  2. 02CostlyAudience · A3 failup to +5.6
    “No pain stated before the product”

    The visitor is presented with a solution before they are reminded of the problem they are solving.

    Proposalyou decide
    Add a section above the tools stating the pain of server-side uploads and privacy risks
  3. 03CostlyProof · P3 partialup to +2.5
    “Tool grid only”

    A stranger cannot judge the quality or ease of the interface before committing to a click.

    Proposalyou decide
    Add a high-resolution screenshot of the actual tool interface for the most popular tool
  4. 04DragProof · P2 failup to +5.6
    “No specific proof”

    The claim "Private by design" is an assertion that a skeptical user will not trust.

    Proposalyou decide
    Add a link to the open-source code or a technical explanation of the local processing
  5. 05DragOffer · O4 failup to +10.4
    “No reason to act now”

    The visitor bookmarks the page for later and never returns.

    Proposalyou decide
    Highlight a "New" tool with a specific use-case to encourage immediate trial

Don’t break these.

  • The "Free forever" and "No accounts" value propositions are clear and prominent.
  • The tool grid is logically organized by category (Main, Edit, Convert).
