THE ROAST
“PostHog’s homepage turns a product pitch into a desktop scavenger hunt, then lets a cookie popup sit on the mobile CTA like it paid rent.”
3 fixes. Zero fluff.
- 1
Move the cookie banner.
It covers the mobile signup button, blocking the clearest next step.
TRY THISOn mobile, place the cookie notice below the signup card or make it dismissible without covering buttons.
Seen: Cookie banner covers the mobile Get started button
- 2
Clarify the headline.
“Context layer” sounds abstract until visitors read the longer explanation below.
TRY THISReplace the headline with “Bring product data together so you and your agents can act on it.”
Seen: Your product's context layer
- 3
Simplify the desktop frame.
Decorative side navigation and a large demo compete with the core pitch for attention.
TRY THISHide the decorative side rails and reduce the demo's height so the signup offer stays central.
Seen: Icon rails flank a large central demo
REPORT CARD
Tap a row to see why.
The product pitch is visible, but the busy frame distracts from it.
The subheadline explains the offering, while “context layer” stays abstract.
Signup options are clear, but the mobile cookie banner obscures the button.
Desktop side rails and the large demo compete with the hero.
The page states 500,000+ teams and free usage, but proof is below the fold.
WHAT NOW?
Fix the three things above, then check again and watch the number move.
