Please roast our landing page

Ready to launch it broadly, could you please give some feedback before it goes widely?
I ran your website through my validation tool (ValidBot.com) so I could share the report with you.
A few things stand out to me:
You can see the full report here: https://www.validbot.com/report/3b5cb26d5ffd0b49653563ebfa3c29a3d
Feel free to repeat the test once you have fixed some of the issues. And if you have a chance to test ValidBot and send me some feedback in return, I would appreciate it greatly!
Your tool looks great! And the outstanding issues are indeed great to fix. Thanks a lot!
I'm actually going through each failure found by this tool right now, nice tool! Jake
If you want a free subscription to ValidBot, Id be happy to give you one in return for some feedback on the subscriber only tools/features. Just send me an email at contact@validbot.com and I'll hook you up.
My first impression is that the website is painfully slow. It gets a C-77 speed rating and even that seems too high, because after the website is technically loaded, it just shows blank white page with a loading animation.
I have no idea why there is a frog wearing hat and holding a baseball bat landing from a UFO on the front page. It is very weird. I literally cannot even.
The blur effect on your main CTA button makes it look like it's disabled, because this product is not yet available.
"Finally something I can customize to MY situation. I can track & analyze anything I want in less than 5 clicks." is a quotation under the weird animated UFO frog. But it doesn't say who said this. Is it the frog talking to me? What?
I clicked the embedded Youtube video and it's like a rave party with things moving on the screen way too fast with tons of effects. I feel like I need medicinal cocaine to understand what is going on here. All of the strobe lights and font effects make it very difficult to focus on what you are actually trying to say in the video.
"What are you waiting on?" reads a bit awkward. A more common way would be "What are you waiting for?"
There are also typos here and there, for example, "Bank-level secuirty"
I think there are way too many choices made on this landing page with visuals and effects as the top priority, instead of a clear pitch and the product as the top priority.
I clicked through many of the pages just to see the wide and wild array of all the effects going on in each page, totally ignoring the actual content or the product.
In one page, you pitch that I will "feel clear". I feel very confused, actually.
There are so many confusing things, it's even hard to pinpoint all of them. For example, in the FAQ area, the very first question is not even a question. While this by itself is a minor thing, similar, small confusing things seem to be everywhere, and they are mixed in with a ton of visual effects, animations and weird UFO references that honestly don't add any value to the user, on the contrary, they just make everything look and feel weird.
I think this this is a some kind of personal financing app but honestly, I feel very confused after browsing through this website.
This is awesome! Thank you so much for reviewing it and write up this detailed feedback, very much appreciated!
Love the UI!
Thanks! Anything it does well that you like specifically?
I agree with the other comments here.
I would add I think you could spell things out a bit more for me on the landing page. All I'm really understanding is I plug in my bank data and I get "metrics" and "reports".
You could say something like "Automatic 12 months projections straight from your bank feed" and that's more interesting to me because I can say; Wow, I can now do my projections with no effort? That's really cool!
Just straight up tell me what your app can do for me and I think that'll be more successful.
This makes total sense as it connects users with clear message without imagining.
The only downside is - when different users attracted by different scenarios, it’s difficult to put some on while ignoring some others. In that case, somewhat level of abstraction is needed. But I agreed crisp message is a key for a successful landing page. Thanks for your feedback!
besides site slowness, BUILT TO TURN EVERYDAY ENTREPRENEURS INTO FINANCIAL WIZARDS, is too much text to be that small.
You could have that in the main header and make that bigger, and change the small text above to something shorter.
something like -> "Turning everyday entrepreneurs into financial wizards with custom financial tracking."
