I think a lot of people are trying to solve the wrong growth problem.

Everyone wants more traffic.

More SEO.
More ads.
More content.
More people hitting the site.

But I've been running loads of websites through Velrix recently and I keep noticing the same thing:

What's the point in getting more people onto a page if they don't immediately understand what they're looking at?

I audited one site recently that's used by millions of people.

Really good website as well. It scored 87/100 for conversion.

But Velrix still picked up one bit of friction in the headline:

“Where teams and agents think together.”

It's only 7 words.

But if you've never seen the product before, what does that actually mean?

What are the agents doing? What does “think together” mean for me? Why should I care?

It's not a bad headline. That's what I found interesting.

It's a tiny bit of friction on an otherwise really strong website.

And it made me think how many startups are spending money trying to get another 1,000 people onto their site when the people already landing there are still having to work out what the product actually does.

Sometimes the growth hack genuinely might just be making your website easier to understand 😂

I'd be interested to know if anyone here has actually seen a bigger improvement from fixing their landing page than increasing traffic.

I audited one of the biggest productivity tools in the world. 7 words were its biggest clarity problem.

I audited one of the biggest productivity tools in the world. Its biggest clarity problem was 7 words.

I’ve been running UX and conversion audits on high-traffic websites, and this one stood out because the site is already very good.

The page scored 84 for clarity and 87 for conversion. But the audit still found one point of friction:

“Where teams and agents think together.”

It sounds polished. But read it as someone seeing the product for the first time. What are the agents doing? What does “think together” actually mean? What does the product help you achieve?

The audit flagged the headline because the visitor has to interpret the message before they understand the value.

And that’s what I found interesting.

A website doesn’t have to be bad to have conversion friction.

This product is used by millions. The website is polished, the brand is enormous, and the scores reflect that. But even on a strong page, one sentence can still create unnecessary hesitation.

I think a lot of website audits miss this. Finding one problem shouldn’t suddenly make an otherwise excellent website a 40/100.

The useful question isn’t “Is this website good or bad?”

It’s “Where is the remaining friction?”

Try this with your homepage: show only your headline to someone who has never heard of your company and ask what the product actually helps them do.

If they need the rest of the page to explain it, your headline probably isn’t as clear as you think.

I audited a landing page with 200k monthly visits. The #1 conversion killer wasn’t the copy—it was button spam.

I’ve been running deep-dive UX and conversion audits all day, and I keep seeing the exact same self-sabotaging mistake on founder-led landing pages: Choice Overload.

When you're building your own SaaS or product, you want to cater to every single funnel stage at once. You panic think, "What if they aren't ready to buy?" So you throw everything at them:

  • "Book a demo" (Primary CTA)
  • "Download our whitepaper" (Secondary CTA)
  • "Watch the 2-minute video"
  • "Subscribe to our newsletter"

When you give a visitor four different choices on a single page, they don't choose the "safest" one. They choose a fifth option: closing the tab.

We ran a heatmap and conversion audit tool on a high-traffic page doing this exact thing. The tool completely tanked the conversion score to a 70 and flagged "No clear next step" as the critical roadblock.

Choice paralysis is real. Every extra button you add isn't a "new opportunity to convert"—it's just a distraction that forces the user to do cognitive homework to figure out what you actually want them to do.

If your core landing page has more than one primary goal, you are actively killing your own signup numbers.

Has anyone else successfully tested multi-CTA vs single-CTA pages for an early-stage SaaS? Did a secondary "low-friction" CTA actually help you, or did it just cannibalize your main signup goal?

The moment I realised my audits were built on bad evidence

I spent the last week convinced my AI website audit tool had a prompt problem.
Some audits were great.
Others felt a bit generic.
So naturally I started tweaking prompts, adding more reasoning, changing the output structure, and trying to make the AI smarter.
It helped a bit.
But not enough.
Then I found the real issue.
The AI wasn’t always seeing the website properly.
I’d been trying to improve the diagnosis while ignoring the quality of the evidence.
Bit of a painful realization.
So instead of adding another feature, I rebuilt the extraction layer.
Now if the system can’t reliably read a website, it refuses to audit it and tells the user why.
What’s funny is the product feels far more intelligent now.
Not because it knows more.
Because it knows when it doesn’t know.
Sometimes the biggest improvement isn’t making something smarter.
It’s making it more honest.

Looking for honest feedback on my website audit tool (Velrix)

Velrix is a tool that helps website owners identify where visitors may be hesitating, getting confused, or dropping off.

Over the last week I've made a lot of changes based on user behaviour, including:

• Simplifying the homepage
• Reducing onboarding friction
• Improving the mobile experience
• Showing value before requiring signup
• Making the audit process clearer

I'm now at the point where I've looked at it so many times that I'm probably blind to the obvious problems.

I'd love honest feedback on:

• First impressions
• Clarity of the value proposition
• Whether you'd actually try the audit
• Anything confusing or frustrating
• Mobile experience (especially)

Don't hold back — brutal feedback is welcome.
