Grade F, 45 out of 100. Most buyers will need a call to see anything.
Biggest gap: “Buyers can see the product without a call”. Let visitors see the real product on the site: a live, narrated demo they start themselves, not only a video.

Buyers can see the product without a call
We didn't find an interactive demo or product video on the homepage or demo page.
Most buyers want to see the product before they talk to anyone. If the only way to see it is a scheduled call, many leave for a competitor who shows theirs.
What would help: Let visitors see the real product on the site: a live, narrated demo they start themselves, not only a video.
- ✓15 pts
Prices are public
Prices are shown at /pricing.
Price is the first thing buyers look for after the product. Hiding it sends them to review sites or competitors to guess.
- ✓10 pts
There's a way to start alone
A sign-up or free start is linked (/signup).
Some buyers are ready to try before they're ready to talk. Without a way in, they wait or leave.
- ✕15 pts
Booking a demo is quick
The demo page asks for 8 fields and no time is offered right away.
Every field and every 'we'll be in touch' loses buyers. The ones who stay wait days to see the product.
What would help: Ask for a work email only, show a calendar at once, or let them see the demo right away.
- ~10 pts
Questions get answered without a person
Docs or help center linked (support.fastly.com). We didn't find a chat widget on the homepage.
Buyers comparing tools have specific questions. If the answer needs an email thread, the comparison moves on without you.
What would help: Link your docs from the homepage, and answer product questions on the page, grounded in those docs.
- ✓10 pts
Proof from customers
Customer stories are linked (/customers).
Buyers look for companies like theirs. Without them, the product has to prove everything alone.
- ~10 pts
A clear headline and description
Headline: "Move fast. Stay safe.". Description is 6 characters.
The headline is the first sentence a buyer reads, and the description is what they see in search. Both should say who it's for and what changes.
What would help: One headline of 4 to 12 words that names the outcome, and a 120 to 160 character description.
- ✕5 pts
The page arrives fast
The homepage's HTML arrived in 5.4 s.
Slow first loads lose visitors before they read a word, and search engines notice.
What would help: Cache the homepage at the edge and defer heavy scripts.
