Homepage Analysis

Visitors judge your homepage in 50ms

In that time they've already decided what your homepage says. I'll show you where that space is spent, and how it compares against a competitor.

Homepage analysis cover v1

Who this for?

  • Founders and marketing leads about to redesign, who want a baseline first
  • Teams stuck in homepage debates, who need numbers rather than opinions
  • Agencies pitching a redesign, who need evidence for the client
  • Anyone losing ground to a competitor and unsure why

What I measure

Segments, using a best in breed segmentation model. I capture your homepage at 1440px wide, top to bottom, and divide it into the parts a UX Designer or Information Architect would name:

  • Hero. Your opening claim
  • Explainer. You describing yourself
  • Promotion. The ask, such as an offer or signup
  • Trust. Proof from outside, like testimonials, logos and ratings
  • Routing. Links into your content
  • Editorial. Writing meant to be read, not clicked
  • Navigation, brand and footer

Each segment is scored three ways: its share of the page, how much of it is filled rather than empty, and how much of the first screen it takes up.

Brand & Performance Signals

Homepage analysis insert v1

This analysis also covers four things that shape a great first impression:

Brand

  • Proposition. Whether your first screen says what you do, and whether your calls to action are clear, consistent and within reach
  • Consistency. Your typefaces and what they cost to load, and your colour palette, including colours people can't tell apart

Performance

  • Speed. Google PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals, against Google's thresholds
  • Weight. Your page size against the median desktop page

Benchmark a competitor (optional)

Measured the same way, side by side, with the gaps between you shown.

Your homepage is the most valuable real estate on your website, so every area should serve a purpose and add value.
