Hero 5-second test
Hero H1 reads 'Agentic Infrastructure' and the subhead is garbled: 'To ship apps and agents For codingfopzmcu For coding agents to ship apps and agents automated by agents.' A first-time visitor cannot determine WHAT the product does (hosting platform? AI orchestration tool? deployment service?) nor WHO it is for (developers? enterprises? AI teams?) within 5 seconds.
Rewrite the H1 and subhead to state the concrete product category and target user in plain language. For example: 'The deployment platform for developers building AI-powered apps — from zero to production in seconds.' Ensure the subhead is a single, coherent sentence that names the primary user and the primary outcome.
Jargon and insider terminology
The hero leads with 'Agentic Infrastructure' — an unexplained compound term that blends AI-agent jargon with infrastructure jargon. The body then clusters multiple unexplained technical terms without plain-language glosses: 'Durable Orchestration,' 'Sandboxed Environments,' 'AI Model Gateway,' 'Fluid Compute,' 'Tenant Isolation,' 'Serverless Functions,' 'Web Application Firewall.' The page also appears to target a secondary non-technical audience (e.g., Notion, Zapier, Mintlify are cited as customers, implying business/product stakeholders), yet all vocabulary is written exclusively for infrastructure engineers.
Remove or explain 'Agentic Infrastructure' in the hero with a one-sentence plain-language gloss (e.g., 'cloud infrastructure built to run AI agents and web apps'). For each technical feature term in the body, add a 5–8 word descriptor beneath it. If the page targets both technical and non-technical buyers, create separate messaging lanes or a toggle so each audience sees vocabulary matched to their context.
Objections handled near CTA
CTAs present: 'Get a Demo', 'Sign Up', 'Get a Demo', 'Sign Up', 'Tanstack Start'. No objection-handling signals found anywhere in the page content or Social Proof Digest — no mention of 'no credit card required', 'cancel anytime', 'money-back guarantee', 'free trial', 'SOC 2', 'GDPR', 'free plan', or 'no setup fee'.
Add at least 2 distinct objection-handlers immediately adjacent to each primary CTA. For Vercel's audience (developers and engineering leaders), high-impact signals would include 'No credit card required' and 'SOC 2 Type II certified' near the 'Sign Up' CTA, and 'Cancel anytime' or 'GDPR compliant' near the 'Get a Demo' CTA. These directly address cost-commitment anxiety and enterprise security concerns.
Single message focus
The page presents at least four distinct CTAs: 'Get a Demo,' 'Sign Up,' 'Get a Demo' (repeated), 'Sign Up' (repeated), and 'TanStack Start' — the last of which leads to a different product/integration entirely. Additionally, the body presents three separate value propositions with independent feature sets: agent infrastructure, app scaling, and multi-tenant platform hosting, each implying a different buyer and a different conversion path.
Consolidate to one primary CTA aligned to the highest-value conversion goal (likely 'Sign Up' or 'Get a Demo,' not both). Remove or demote 'TanStack Start' to a secondary section. Unify the three feature clusters under a single overarching benefit statement so the visitor experiences one coherent offer rather than three parallel pitches.
Testimonials match target audience
The page references three companies with usage statistics: 'Notion powers millions of agent conversations daily on Vercel.', 'Zapier serves over 100 million monthly website visits on Vercel.', and 'Mintlify powers documentation for 20,000+ companies on Vercel.' The Social Proof Digest confirms no named individual testimonials with roles or titles — only an image alt text referencing 'Eve | Vercel' with no further context.
Replace or supplement the anonymous company usage stats with named testimonials from real individuals (e.g., 'Jane Smith, Head of Platform Engineering at Notion') whose roles and company types explicitly match Vercel's ICP — engineering leaders, platform teams, and AI/agent developers at growth-stage or enterprise companies. Include job title, company size or stage, and a specific outcome to activate Cialdini's similarity amplifier.
Real human faces present
The Social Proof Digest contains image alt texts: 'Build agents on infrastructure that thinks like them | Ship apps that scale from zero to millions instantly | Host platforms that serve every customer | Eve | Vercel'. The name 'Eve' appears in alt text but has no associated role, title, or company affiliation. No named team members, founders, or customer testimonials with individual names and affiliations appear in the body text or digest.
Add a 'Meet the team' or founder section with named individuals, their titles, and real headshots with descriptive alt text (e.g., 'Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel'). Supplement with named customer testimonials that include a headshot, full name, role, and company. This activates the familiarity and liking heuristic, increasing visitor trust.
