5.9

Full Report
7/10
Hero clarity
Goblin sees 'Meet Dia, the next evolution of Arc' and 'Weekly security updates, SOC 2 certification' in the hero. Clear enough who this is for, but 'the next evolution' is soft language that assumes prior knowledge.
What You Got Right
What's Wrong
8/10
CTA prominence
Goblin sees a single 'Try Dia' button above fold with an icon, clear and alone. No competing CTAs muddying the water.
What You Got Right
5/10
Value prop specificity
Goblin reads 'A browser that doesn't just meet your needs — it anticipates them' and sees a philosophy, not a value prop. Features (Spaces, Profiles, Split View) come later, buried under 'zero Chrome' and 'calm internet' poetry.
What You Got Right
What's Wrong
3/10
Trust signals
Goblin sees 'SOC 2 certification' mentioned once, which is good, but no user count, no named customers, no logos above fold — just 4 Twitter handle quotes mid-page with no context or verification.
What's Wrong
4/10
Copy concreteness
Goblin finds 'Clean and calm', 'shapes itself to how you use the internet', and 'anticipates them' scattered throughout — these are feelings, not facts. 'Spaces and Profiles' are named, but no numbers, no comparisons, no proof.
What You Got Right
What's Wrong
3/10
Social proof depth
Goblin sees four tweets with Twitter handles and quotes, but zero names, zero company affiliations, zero verification that these people exist or are notable. '@beebomco' and 'I just tried using a computer without Arc' tell Goblin nothing except someone said something positive.
What's Wrong
4/10
Objection handling
Goblin sees one line: 'FYI: Arc receives Chromium updates only. For active security patches and enterprise-grade protection, download Dia instead.' This addresses one objection (security), but ignores cost, lock-in, data export, and why switching from Chrome is worth the friction.
What You Got Right
What's Wrong
7/10
Visual hierarchy
Goblin sees a clear eye flow: hero headline, then CTA button, then video/image. Feature sections follow in a logical sequence. No clashing elements or buried CTAs. One nitpick: testimonials mid-page are visually de-emphasized when they could drive conversion.
What You Got Right
What's Wrong
6/10
Mobile rendering
Goblin cannot see mobile CSS (stripped during preprocessing), but the structure suggests responsive design: single-column stacking, video/images, button stacking. No obvious bloat. One concern: download buttons appear twice, which wastes mobile screen space.
What You Got Right
What's Wrong
7/10
Page speed signals
Goblin sees fetchpriority='high' on hero image, video poster defined, preload='metadata' on video, and responsive image srcsets with 2x variants — good baseline. No inline third-party scripts visible post-strip. One concern: four images + video could be heavy without lazy loading elsewhere.
What You Got Right
What's Wrong
9/10
Form and CTA friction
Goblin sees a 'Try Dia' button with no form gate, no email requirement, no credit card. Direct download, immediate value. This is the right move for a browser. One note: 'Try' is softer than 'Download', but acceptable.
What You Got Right
8/10
Pricing clarity
Goblin infers 'Arc is free forever' from the lack of pricing mention and 'optional features unlock for power users' pattern, but never reads an explicit price tag. No confusion, but also no transparency about paid tiers (if Arc Max or Dia have costs).
