UX memory

Want this for your site?

Measure your site and keep it in your UX memory: every time you measure again, we tell you what appeared, what is still there and what came back.

This time we cannot suggest a first change. Below you will see what we could measure, what we could not, and why.

Diagnose

What we were able to measure

We reviewed 10 of the 23 linked pages, at 1280 px and 390 px. Everything we say below comes from these captures, and each statement has the measurement it comes from underneath it.

Screenshot of the first screen of the page, as it looked when we read it, in a 1280×800 window.

First screen at 1280×800 and at 390×844, as it looked when we read it. Where the first screen ends depends on the window size. Open them at full size to see it.

We ran 6 checks. Complete: 1. Partial: 1. Not measured: 4. With that, we flag no changes for you.

Decide

What you can decide

Each one is a change you can make, with the measurement it comes from and how to check that it is done. In stage 3 we tell you in what order we would make them.

We could not close this site’s cookie notice, and that notice is inside the page: it puts its own heading, its links and its checkboxes into what we measure. So we abstain on everything we cannot separate from it — the headings and the images, the menus and the links, the fields and the forms — and what depended on how things look, we measured with the notice on top, so it does not describe what someone who has already closed it sees. What we do stand behind: the metadata, and which external domains load on arrival.

There is no action we can support with what we measured. That does not mean the site is fine: it means the checks we completed point to nothing to fix.

What the evidence does not allow you to decide

Found in the review, with no demonstrated relation to what you asked for.

  • On all 10 pages we reviewed, there are external domains that load before anyone touches anything. On the page with the most, there are 3.

    They showed up in the first load. We could not close the cookie notice on 10 of the 10 pages in this review, so we do not know what would have loaded afterwards. What you are reading is what came before that answer, not the whole site.

    These external domains are contacted before anyone has been able to answer the notice.

    They are: download-video-ak.vimeocdn.com, player.vimeo.com, www.gstatic.com.

    The evidence

Act

What to do, and in what order

This report proposes no changes. That does not mean there is nothing to change: it means we found none that the evidence in this report supports.

What you can leave as it is

We looked at this in full and found nothing to fix.

  • Metadata and shareability

Other things we observed, none of which point to a problem.

There are 2 facts.

  • 10 of the 10 pages we reviewed have a title, a description and sharing data.

  • Metadata and shareability

    We looked at it on every page we read and found nothing to flag.

What we checked and what was left out

This report looks at this site at 390 pixels wide, with the same checks we run on desktop. There are three things specific to mobile that we do not check yet: the size of what has to be tapped, whether the phone zooms in on the page when a field is tapped, and what text size is left afterwards. That we do not name them does not mean they are fine: it means we have not looked at them.

We read 10 pages on desktop, and all of them could also be read on mobile.

Consent notice: on all 10 pages of this review, we were able to establish whether there was one, either because we saw it or from the services the page loads.

We read 10 of the 23 pages we found linked from the one you gave us. We start with the pages in the main navigation; footer links go last. Besides the page you gave us, we read up to 10 more pages per diagnostic. Here we reached that limit.

What we did and on what

We read 10 pages on October 18, 2026. We have 1 finding, in 1 group.

How we chose which pages to read. We followed the links on shift5.io and found 77 anchors. 49 were repeated and 2 pointed outside the site.

We ran 6 checks. Complete: 1. Partial: 1. Not measured: 4.

With that, we flag no changes. In 1 case, the evidence does not allow you to decide.

Where we did not look

Each abstention with its cause and its scope. Absence of observation is not absence of the problem.

  • What we cannot separate from the cookie notice · throughout this report

    We could not close the cookie notice on any of the 10 pages we read. Since we could not see them without the notice in the way, we say nothing in this report about computed accessibility, navigation and links, or observed forms.

  • Computed accessibility

    Not measured. The cookie notice covered what needed measuring on every page, and we did not measure it.

  • Navigation and links

    Not measured. The cookie notice covered what needed measuring on every page, and we did not measure it.

  • Observed forms

    Not measured. The cookie notice covered what needed measuring on every page, and we did not measure it.

  • First screen and calls to action

    Not measured. A fixed layer sat over the first screen, and we cannot separate what is underneath.

  • Third parties and consent

    Partial. This check only covers the domains the page called while loading. We could not remove the cookie notice. We do not judge whether what the page does with those domains is lawful.

  • Comparison with a reference population

    We do not yet compare this site with any reference corpus.

LIMITS OF THIS REVIEW

  • These observations are limited to the reviewed pages listed above.

  • The pages we did not read are not in these observations: nothing this report says refers to them.

  • What we count as a link or button: links, buttons, controls that submit a form, and anything that declares a link or button role. If something acts as a control without declaring itself one, we do not see it.

  • We measure contrast against the reference the check itself comes with: 4.5 to 1 for normal text and 3 to 1 for large text. It is not a threshold of our own. We do not measure text placed over an image or a gradient: the check cannot determine the background color, and those cases do not reach these observations.

  • This review looked at the site in its light version. If the site changes its appearance when the computer or phone is in dark mode, that version has not been looked at, and what we say here about contrast does not apply to it.

  • This review was done from the Netherlands, within the European Union. A visitor from outside the European Union may not see the same thing: some sites change depending on where they are requested from.

  • Fixed layers are measured in each of the windows used in this review. At another window size, the part of the first screen that is covered changes, and a layer that covers nothing in one window may cover something in another.

  • We do not count images declared as decorative: an image is declared decorative with alt="", and that is a choice made by whoever put it there. We trust that declaration; we do not check whether the image really is decorative.

  • When we review the declared type of a field, we go by its name and its label. We do not check what is typed into it, so a field whose name does not announce what it expects can go by without us flagging it.

  • We chose which pages to read by following the links on the first one, and the cookie notice we could not close was inside it, with its own links. We do not know whether any of the pages we read got onto the list because of the notice rather than because of your site.

  • You wrote “A general review” as your goal. We could not relate what you wrote to what we know how to check, so we ordered the report without taking it into account. That is a limit on our side.

  • This review abstains on 7 points. Each one, with its cause and its scope, is under “Where we did not look”.

The measurements, one by one
