## CTA — 72, Fair

We assess whether the primary CTA's copy, size, verb, and cost-feel earn the click. The report identifies these problems:

- The payoff is vague: “get what, exactly?”
- The open-source positioning does not include a “free” signal.
- The “Call us” header button competes with the primary CTA.

In the CTA comparison, PgDog ranks first with 72, tied with PgCat at 72; Citus Data scores 68, Vitess 64, and PgBouncer 42.

The report provides a [CTA rewrite studio](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=pgdog.dev#opt-cta-writing) to generate primary and secondary CTA options grounded in PgDog's offer and visitor objections.

## Mobile web — 72, Fair

We assess the phone experience as a first-class experience. The report identifies:

1. **Code snippet overflow:** line 1 of the Helm command clips at the right edge at “https://helm.”, indicating horizontal overflow on mobile.
2. **Get PgDog button:** the primary CTA remains desktop-proportioned at roughly half the column width instead of being an easy full-bleed thumb target.

The [mobile fix plan](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=pgdog.dev#opt-mobile-web) converts these findings into a prioritized implementation checklist.

## Information hierarchy — 76, Fair

We assess whether the design helps or inhibits the page's message. The report identifies:

1. **Call us button:** it has the same blue visual weight as “Get PgDog,” splitting the primary action between two corners of the fold.
2. **For enterprise button:** an outlined button and “Read the docs” link sit beside the primary CTA, creating three equal-footing choices in one row.
3. **Announcement banner link:** “Read the post →” is the first interactive element in the scan path and draws attention away before the headline.

The [layout priority plan](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=pgdog.dev#opt-information-hierarchy) turns these callouts into a sequenced keep, move, merge, or remove plan.

## Value props — 78, Fair

We assess whether the title, subtitle, and hero sell the product's value. The report describes PgDog's headline and subhead as:

> **“Scale Postgres n times”**
>
> “Connection pooler, load balancer, distributed database. One executable, deployable anywhere.”

### Working

- The headline names the exact job: scaling Postgres.
- The subhead lists concrete components rather than buzzwords.
- The diagram shows sharding in action and includes **3M+ q/s proof**.

### Could improve

- “n times” is clever but vague about the outcome.
- There is no emotional hook for the pain of scaling.
- The subhead reads as a feature list rather than a benefit.

PgDog ranks first for value props at 78, followed by Citus Data 72, Vitess 58, PgCat 56, and PgBouncer 42.

## Trust — 78, Fair

We assess proof that a product is real, competent, and safe to try.

| Product | Trust read |
| --- | --- |
| PgDog | “3M+ queries/s in production” caption above the Coinbase, Ramp, Modal, Bitstack, and Reducto logo row |
| PgBouncer | Dated release notes with sha256 checksums and a transparent CVE-2025-12819 advisory detailing vulnerable configurations |
| PgCat | Code editor screenshot with tabs “game.ts”, “characters.module.css”, and “bonus-level.ts” |
| Citus Data | GitHub star count “12,779” in the header |
| Vitess | GitHub, Slack, and Stack Overflow community icons in the top navigation |

PgDog ranks first for trust at 78, followed by PgBouncer 58, Citus Data 54, PgCat 50, and Vitess 44.

The [proof section builder](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=pgdog.dev#opt-trust-signals) helps choose proof signals and produce copy and placement for a trust section.
