Speak Crush
The official vocabulary of LandingCrush — coined terms you won't find anywhere else, plus a plain-English glossary of conversion optimisation fundamentals.
LandingCrush Lingo
Coined termsCrushability Score
compound nounA 0–100 composite rating assigned by the LandingCrush Niche Panel reflecting a landing page's overall ability to convert a visitor into a believer. Combines click gravity, trust score, and clarity score.
"Your Crushability Score jumped from 54 to 78 after you rewrote the hero headline."
Click Gravity
compound nounThe magnetic pull a landing page exerts on a visitor's cursor — the invisible force that makes a CTA button feel irresistible. Measured on a 0–100 scale by the Niche Panel.
"Low click gravity usually means your CTA is buried below the fold or uses passive language."
Crushworthy
adjectiveDescribing a landing page that earns a majority of Crush votes from the LandingCrush community — clear, compelling, and conversion-ready.
"That new pricing page is genuinely crushworthy — 84% crush rate in the first 48 hours."
Scroll Trap
compound nounA design or copy element so compelling that it stops a visitor mid-scroll and forces them to read further. The opposite of a bounce trigger.
"The animated comparison table is a scroll trap — nobody gets past it without pausing."
Bounce Trigger
compound nounAny element on a landing page — slow load, confusing headline, wall of text, missing social proof — that causes a visitor to leave before converting.
"The panel flagged three bounce triggers: no logo, no pricing hint, and a 4-second load time."
Panel Verdict
compound nounThe final consensus statement produced by the LandingCrush Niche Panel after three rounds of deliberation, summarising why the winning variant outperformed its competitors.
"The Panel Verdict was clear: Variant B wins on trust, Variant A wins on clarity — but trust converts."
LandingCrusher
nounA member of the LandingCrush community who actively votes on homepages, contributes roast comments, and helps founders improve their conversion copy.
"She's a top LandingCrusher — 2,400 votes cast and a 91% accuracy streak."
Niche Panel
compound nounThe 50 AI personas generated by the LandingCrush swarm engine, each matched to a specific buyer archetype within a chosen niche. They deliberate across three rounds to produce a Panel Verdict.
"The SaaS Niche Panel includes skeptical CTOs, budget-conscious SMB founders, and growth-stage VPs."
Crush Rate
compound nounThe percentage of community votes that are Crush (positive) versus Pass (negative) for a given landing page. A crush rate above 70% is considered strong.
"After the redesign, their crush rate climbed from 41% to 76% in a single week."
Swipe Session
compound nounA continuous voting session on LandingCrush in which a user swipes through multiple landing pages, casting Crush or Pass votes. Sessions build voting streaks.
"I knocked out a 30-page swipe session before lunch — my streak is at 12 days."
Crush Streak
compound nounThe number of consecutive days a LandingCrusher has cast at least one vote. Longer streaks unlock voting power multipliers and badge rewards.
"She's on a 47-day crush streak — her votes now count 2× in the leaderboard algorithm."
Roast Mode
compound nounAn evaluation mode in which a voter is prompted to leave a specific critique rather than just a binary vote. Roast Mode comments are the most actionable feedback on LandingCrush.
"Switch to Roast Mode if you want the brutal truth — voters pull no punches."
Blind Mode
compound nounA voting mode that hides the company name and industry during a swipe session, forcing voters to judge purely on design and copy merit without brand bias.
"Blind Mode revealed that their brand recognition was doing all the heavy lifting — the page itself scored 38."
Deliberation Round
compound nounOne of three structured evaluation cycles run by the Niche Panel. In each round, personas critique the variants, update their votes, and converge toward a consensus.
"By deliberation round three, 44 of 50 personas had aligned on Variant A as the winner."
Crushability Audit
compound nounA full AI-powered review of a landing page covering hero clarity, CTA effectiveness, visual hierarchy, mobile experience, and trust signals — delivered as a structured report.
"The Crushability Audit flagged a missing value proposition in the first 100 pixels."
Conversion Glossary
Industry termsAbove the Fold
LayoutThe portion of a webpage visible without scrolling. The most valuable real estate on any landing page — your headline, subheadline, and primary CTA should all live here.
A/B Test
TestingA controlled experiment comparing two variants of a page element (headline, CTA, image) to determine which drives better conversion. LandingCrush Panel Tests are an AI-accelerated form of A/B testing.
Bounce Rate
AnalyticsThe percentage of visitors who leave a page without taking any action. High bounce rates often indicate a mismatch between ad copy and landing page content.
Call to Action (CTA)
ConversionA button, link, or prompt that directs a visitor to take a specific next step — sign up, start trial, book a demo. The most important element on any landing page.
Conversion Rate
AnalyticsThe percentage of visitors who complete a desired action (sign-up, purchase, demo request). Industry average for SaaS landing pages is 2–5%; top performers exceed 10%.
Hero Section
LayoutThe first full-width section of a landing page, typically containing the headline, subheadline, primary CTA, and a supporting visual. Sets the tone for the entire page.
Social Proof
ConversionEvidence that other people trust and use your product — customer logos, testimonials, review counts, case studies. One of the most powerful conversion levers on any landing page.
Value Proposition
CopywritingA clear statement of the specific benefit your product delivers, who it is for, and why it is better than alternatives. Should be immediately obvious in the hero section.
Heatmap
AnalyticsA visual representation of where users click, move, and scroll on a page. Used to identify which elements attract attention and which are ignored.
Landing Page
FundamentalsA standalone web page designed for a single conversion goal, typically reached via an ad, email, or direct link. Distinct from a homepage in its singular focus.
Lead Magnet
ConversionA free resource (ebook, checklist, template, tool) offered in exchange for a visitor's email address. Effective lead magnets solve a specific, immediate problem.
Multivariate Test
TestingAn experiment testing multiple variables simultaneously to find the optimal combination of elements. More complex than A/B testing but reveals interaction effects.
Pain Point
CopywritingA specific problem or frustration experienced by your target customer. Effective landing page copy leads with pain points before introducing the solution.
Trust Signal
ConversionAny element that reduces perceived risk and builds credibility — SSL badges, money-back guarantees, customer logos, press mentions, review counts.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
CopywritingThe single most compelling reason a customer should choose your product over all alternatives. Should be distilled to one sentence and placed in the hero headline.
Wireframe
DesignA low-fidelity layout sketch of a page showing structure and content hierarchy without visual design. The essential starting point for any landing page redesign.
Fold
LayoutThe invisible horizontal line marking the bottom of the visible browser window. Content above the fold is seen immediately; content below requires scrolling.
Friction
ConversionAny element that slows, confuses, or discourages a visitor from completing the desired action. Reducing friction is the primary goal of conversion rate optimisation.
Microcopy
CopywritingSmall pieces of UI text — button labels, form field hints, error messages, tooltips — that guide users and reduce anxiety at key conversion moments.
Session Recording
AnalyticsA video replay of an individual user's browsing session showing every mouse movement, click, and scroll. Invaluable for understanding how real users interact with a page.
