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.

4 to fix

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. 01CostlyProof · P3 failup to +6.8
    “"Main tools" section”

    Visitor cannot judge the quality or ease of the UI, increasing the friction to click.

    Proposalyou decide
    Replace icons with cropped screenshots of the actual tool interfaces.
  2. 02CostlyAudience · A3 failup to +5.6
    “Most free PDF sites keep a copy of your file”

    The risk is stated after the solution, weakening the emotional hook for privacy-conscious users.

    Proposalyou decide
    Move this section immediately below the first viewport's sub-headline.
  3. 03DragAudience · A1 failup to +5.6
    “contracts, invoices and ID scans”

    The user knows what files are supported, but not if the tool is designed for their specific role.

    Proposalyou decide
    Explicitly name the target user in the sub-headline, e.g., "For [professionals] handling sensitive documents."
  4. 04DragOffer · O4 failup to +10.4
    “Free forever”

    No urgency to use the tool today, leading to bookmarks that are never revisited.

    Proposalyou decide
    Add a "Latest update: [Date]" or a "Beta" tag to signal current activity.
2 strengths

Don’t break these.

  • The "Don't trust us. Check it yourself." section provides a verifiable way to prove the privacy claim.
  • The headline "Edit PDFs without uploading them" clearly states the unique value proposition.
