SaaS sites have a unique conversion funnel
SaaS websites need to accomplish three things: explain the product, build trust, and convert visitors into trial users or demo bookings. Every technical issue that slows down, confuses, or scares visitors directly reduces revenue.
The audit priorities for SaaS are different from local businesses or e-commerce. Here's what to focus on.
Performance is the top priority
SaaS websites are often JavaScript-heavy — built with React, Vue, or Angular, with interactive demos, animated illustrations, and embedded videos. This creates performance problems that static sites don't have.
What to check
- LCP under 2.5 seconds — your hero section with the headline and CTA must load fast. Use the Page Speed Grader to measure.
- JavaScript bundle size — SaaS marketing sites often ship the same framework used for the app itself. The marketing page doesn't need 500KB of JavaScript.
- Third-party script load — analytics, chat widgets, heatmaps, A/B testing tools. Each adds 50–200ms of load time. Audit which ones are actually providing value.
