Looking for feedback on landing page!
https://www.blazingstatic.com/
Hey all! I got annoyed at always having bad Google Page Speed Insights scores on my projects because of things like like bad images, slow fonts and unminified JS. So, I built a tool that will automatically speed up loading all of your website's static content.
I'd love to hear what my fellow IH'ers think about it!
Neat idea! Would help non-tech folks.
Feedback:
Assuming you are targeting non-technical folks,
3. The descriptions (MINIFY JAVASCRIPT, HTML AND CSS) is pretty technical. Consider using charts and percentages to show improvements in payload size and latencies.
Re fonts, that's true -- I will fix!
On the pricing point, great call, will add
And yes that is a good idea on the for clearer information on the breakdowns for that third section and add some chart information
Love the offering, there’s definitely a market for this. Excited to see where it goes!
Me too!! Thanks Adam -- I'm going to take some of the feedback here and come back soon with updates :)
call to action is pretty unclear. I prefer the blue button you use at the bottom of your page over the fat white button you use on top. CTA should be impossible to miss so make it pop! Also make it clear and easy what steps I should take to use your service long term. Put a 'get started' in the top right corner and fix it and add one below every single one of your sections. For example
A contact page and an actual signup instead of just a stripe page would also make stuff much easier. Put a few navlinks on the top for that.
From an seo point:
The sections down there (minify javascript etc...) are
sectionelements not divs, the titles should be h tags and use text-transform: uppercase; instead of wrtiting stuff in caps. the div id='main' should also be a <main> element.in general look up html semantics, it will make a big difference. If you're not that comfortable on the frontend consider using ui lib, ant design, semantic ui, material design and ofc bootstrap can all make your life a lot easier there.
good luck!
Very nice way of solving that problem!
Visually, I find the header a bit dull, the gradient is a bit too minimalistic for my subjective taste. I do enjoy the simplicity of the page though.
As a developer, I immediately looked for guarantees that this won't mess up my production system. So I wanted to see if it works.
And then I did something that you will probably think is stupid but was a scary moment for me. I took the pre-generated URL and just pasted it into a new tab. I was greeted with an Error 1101. Scary! After thinking about it, I added a URL after it, and it worked, but that already required some thinking on my end. Hope this helps!
Oh no! I should have a friendlier message :)
Just checking, you put cdn.blazingstatic.com directly into the url?
Yeah, haha, there was an input box, so I copied what was in it to see what happens.
Off the top of my head, maybe a "paste your resource URL here" field that would then convert the URL to a CDN URL would have been more clear. Or a video/gif showing the final URL and its components. Something like "This CDN URL" + "/" + "Your homepage".
I know your audience is technical. But some might visit your site before their first coffee ;)
The landing page looks slick. But I am not so well understand what are you offering as an amateur audience.
It is something that can speed up my website by reducing my image?
What is your target audience? A random web owner that want to speed up his site? Or a technical savvy guys who want to find a CDN solution?
You know that's a really good question and I'm not entirely sure. The idea would be that this could make it easier to speed up your website, especially for more inexperienced folks.
But judging by the feedback here I could be much clearer on that!
Is this something that you think you would be interested in?
I would say so, I personally own site that using traditional CMS system (like WordPress) and have a lot of images and stuff. But as mentioned, a clearer explanation for your target audience would be helpful.
