What the score says about Ethereum
Overall Performance: Strong Foundation with Friction in Conversion Flow
Ethereum.org's landing page scores 72/100 overall, with functional (74) and aesthetic (73) layers performing well, while practices (69) lag slightly. The page succeeds at communicating what Ethereum is and why it matters, but struggles to guide visitors toward a clear next step. For a site introducing a global financial network to both newcomers and developers, this split performance reflects a common tension: the page does the work of education and brand-building effectively, but the conversion architecture—the actual paths users should take—remains ambiguous.
Observed UX signals
functional · major
Clarity
Hero headline 'The internet that belongs to you' is benefit-focused but abstract. The subheading 'Ethereum is the global network where you control your assets, your data, and your identity' is strong, but the primary CTA 'Start here' is generic and doesn't clarify the next action or outcome.
functional · major
Trust & Credibility
While the page includes quantitative proof ('311M ETH holders', '13.7M transactions today', '$4.6B+ daily trading volume', '10 years since 2015'), these statistics lack context and are scattered throughout the page. No press mentions, certifications, or institutional endorsements are visible above the fold to establish authority for new visitors.
functional · major
Conversion Optimization
Multiple CTAs with identical or near-identical labels ('Start here' appears 3 times, 'Get ETH' appears 3 times, 'Start building' appears 2 times) create confusion about which action to take first. No risk reversal, urgency, or benefit-oriented microcopy is present to guide users toward the primary conversion goal.
