Competing actions dilute the conversion path
By Leakly · Published · Updated
01The problem
The first screen offers several equally weighted actions, none of which is clearly the one to take.
Every additional prominent choice slows the decision. A page with one obvious action and quiet alternatives converts better than one that presents them as equals.
02How Leakly detects it
A structural fact counted in the rendered page, or a measurement against a threshold. Confidence ceiling for this detector family: 96%.
A region of the capture, annotated, with the element it points to resolved in the page. Confidence ceiling for this detector family: 78%.
03Proof required
- Elements located in the rendered page, with their position and size.
Without it, the finding is not reported.
04How to fix it
Reduce the first screen to one obvious action.
- Keep one primary action and restyle the rest as secondary.
- Move the actions that serve existing customers out of the first screen.
Each audit that finds this leak includes the exact element, a suggested change and, for copy, a rewrite you can paste.
