Score your landing page against 26 common mistakes in about ten minutes, with the fix for each. For indie hackers and founders about to launch or wondering why nobody signs up.
$5 once, yours to keep. Google Sheets and Excel, no sign-up.
Is your landing page cooked?
A checklist with teeth. 26 sins that landing pages commit, each with a point value, a burn, and the fix. You open your page, go down the list, put Yes next to every sin, and get a score from 0 to 99 and a verdict from SOMEHOW FINE to INCINERATED.
Not a course. Not a 90-page PDF. One spreadsheet that works in Google Sheets and Excel, and takes about ten minutes.
The 26 sins
Split into five areas:
- Identity: no title, default title, no description, no favicon, no share image
- Headline: no h1, too many h1s, buzzwords, "AI-powered", "coming soon", lorem ipsum, exclamation marks
- Design: the purple gradient, the beige font, CTA spam, "Get Started"
- Proof: "trusted by" with nobody named, no price anywhere
- Technical: no viewport tag, plain http, missing alt text, bloated HTML, script spam, empty shell, too thin
Each one comes with a burn ("A purple gradient. The default costume of every product built in a weekend by someone who did not want to make a decision.") and a fix ("Pick two real colors with a reason behind them.").
The roast tab
Everything your page got wrong, worst first, with the fix next to it. That is your to-do list. Fix the top three and score again. Most pages drop 30 points in an afternoon.
Three pages side by side
Score your page, a competitor, and your redesign in one view.
What you get
- The scorecard (.xlsx, opens in Google Sheets or Excel) with 3 tabs: Scorecard, Roast, Word Lists
- The full buzzword list, default-title list and font list the checks refer to
- A 2-page quick-start guide
Who it's for
Indie hackers, founders, freelancers and anyone about to post a launch link somewhere public.
Good to know
- The scoring formula is the same one behind the COOKED site roaster. This is the version you can run on a page that is not live yet, or on someone else's.
- No macros, add-ons or sign-ups. Works in Google Sheets (free) and Excel 2016 or newer.
- Instant download.
