Roast my startup landing page

2/10.

Slow and unresponsive; noticeable immediately when scrolling. Scrolling through triggers a low-grade physical pain, like you get when buffering a streaming video. Huge download size, and generally bad performance. Confirmed by PageSpeedInsights. This is a landing page with informational content; you must have actively tried to have performance this bad.

Basic fake review widget.

You don't have a startup; you have a website selling to other devs Ouroboros-style.

On the plus side, you didn't use the phrase "blazingly fast", or lie about big organizations using your website.

Roast: I'm glad this site isn't a restaurant. It's great at serving things, but much too slowly.

Actual Feedback: I got a black screen with a long scroll bar. Scrolling down, I got near the bottom and spotted a sentence in white text.

Scrolled back up to it, and then noticed content starting to appear.

Scrolled all the way back to the top and saw content appearing bit by bit.

It's definitely taking way too long to populate, because I should not have been able to scroll so far without seeing at least some sort of content at the start. The priority should be on what is shown on the immediate screen, instead of populating in what looks like a random order. It'll at least feel a whole lot faster if the slow-to-load stuff is initially offscreen below, and the top of the page rendered immediately so there is no wait.

"The ultimate platform for developers & teams to build, test and document fully functional & reusable UI libraries on a canvas. Publish as a website or export to your existing tech stack with open-source development."

Too much text. Simplify and make it a single small sentence.

Here is my quick feedback 1. UI icons are overlapping text in places 2. A given section of screen is auto scrolled up when we go to a particular section e.g. FAQ section. 3. Here is a recording link of these issues - https://app.zipy.ai/51e2dfa3/97?is_error=false&id=67467203-1....

Post a link to it in the comments so people can actually click on it.

It’s very slow and sluggish on my iPhone 14 when I increase the text size. There’s a really irritating fading effect.

I don't like to be negative, but since you asked for a roast, I'm seeing mostly big stretches of empty space with intermittent blurbs of text that reads like the filler text a wordpress theme example page. Toolbar menu options are unresponsive except for one that brings up a noscript dialogue for me. Don't you know that web sites should be readable with javascript disabled?

Your product is somewhat interesting, but the landing page is really annoying...

Way too long, way too many animations that are too slow, videos that don't play, lots of text that don't say very much. Can you trim it down significantly and highlight what actually matters? Make it skimmable. And please turn off the annoying loading delays that prevent fast scrolling.

Take the video out of the landing or reduce the size. It takes too long to load the front page. People have a two second attention span for webpages nowadays. If it's not instant, they leave.

Time to first paint is paintful. Ba-Dum Tiss

Had quick look at home page above the fold. Messaging imo was quite clear until I saw the 'See rewards' button. Putting myself in the shoes of a potential buyer, I'm not interested in promoting your service, i want to learn more so i can decide if it's for me. Hope that helps and good luck.

performance and scrolling is absolutely atrocious on first load in Firefox.

Your video embeds literally aren't loading.
