readable, with friction
No letter grade. We could not measure enough of this site to work one out — a grade needs evidence of a loaded page and at least two scored subjects. How the grade works.

Observed interruptions
Ad and tracker counts above are network requests, not counts of visible ads or separate companies. They do not affect the interruption score.
Interruption evidence is incomplete or needs review, so this subject is not scored. Missing evidence is not treated as an interruption-free page.
The type, and who can use it
Measured on 1 rendered page; latest measurement 2026-09-05. Every number is a mechanical fact about the page, not a judgment of its design.
| What | Measured | The bar |
|---|---|---|
| Body type size | not measured | 16px, the browser default |
| Characters per line | not measured | 45–90 |
| Line height | not measured | 1.5 (WCAG 1.4.8) |
| Text contrast | not measured | 4.5:1 (WCAG AA), 7:1 (AAA) |
| Text column | not measured | at least 45% |
| Reflows at phone width | not measured | WCAG 1.4.10 |
| Dark mode | no | noted, not scored |
| Automated accessibility checks | not measured | WCAG 2.1 A and AA, via axe-core |
| Keyboard | not measured | never trapped, always visible |
| Structure | not measured | a main landmark, one h1, no skips |
| Alt text | no content images | every content image |
| Reader mode | not measured | parses (Firefox’s Readability) |
Automated accessibility checks catch an estimated 30–40% of real problems, so “no automated violations detected” is a floor, not a certificate. We never say “accessible”. How these are scored.
Recorded automated findings
| Recorded behavior | Policy cost | Use in this grade |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie dialog blocks the page, but you can refuse | 0.25 | Needs review; not scored |
These records are retained for inspection. Only verified interruption evidence contributes to that subject; uncertain records are not silently treated as clean. Metering keeps its separate grade cap. These costs are not currently applied as search-ranking multipliers.
Measurement dates
Oldest evidence 50 days old. At least one subject is due for rechecking (30 days or older). Dates refer to the evidence, never the card rebuild.

Measurement history
Newest 4 saved observations. Each describes a sampled page at that time; older, failed or held observations do not override the current reviewed card. Raw automated findings may have been superseded by later review or detector replay. No previous grade is inferred.

How we know
| Pages rendered | 3 |
|---|---|
| Site verdict | errors dropped; majority of remaining; ties to the stricter verdict; active reviewed exclusions override admission |
| Figures shown | numeric measurements generally use medians; interruption costs, overflow, keyboard traps and accessibility failures retain the strongest observed finding |
| Cited by | 2,751 encyclopedia articles |
| Flagged | at least one render was degraded, so this card is queued for re-measurement |
Think this is wrong? It may well be — the measurements cover only a handful of pages. Any reviewed admission decision and its dated evidence are shown above. Re-measurement on request is not built yet, so there is no button here that would do anything. When it exists it will be free and it will be on this page.
