Public audit for lathe.live

Nothing broken

Lathe passes every check we could run — the basics are in place.

Every check we could run came back clean. What is left is not broken, it is thin: 1 of the things a customer looks for before deciding are not on the page yet.

Of the 40 checks we ran on your page

Anything we couldn’t read is its own segment — a page that blocks our reader is our limitation, not a mark against you, and it never lowers your score.

Priorities

Fix these first

Ranked by revenue impact. Each one is something users — or an AI answer engine — need to see and currently can't. Fixing the top few moves your score the most.

No critical leaks found in what we read — strong work.

What we read on your page

What a customer finds — and doesn’t

7 of the 8 things we could check are already on your page. Your page already has 7 of the 8 things a customer looks for. You don't need a redesign — just the few that are missing.

Below is the breakdown: what's already working (with the exact text quoted from your page as proof), and the highest-impact additions to win more trial signups — in priority order.

Scope: an automated scan of the 5 pages we could read across your site. Every “found” item quotes the exact text on your page so you can verify it. It doesn't judge copy quality or design.

Already on your page

  • A headline that says what you do — found: “Your whole app on one machine, run for you. From $15 a month.”
  • An obvious button that starts the thing — found: “Start free - 14 days, no card needed”
  • A concrete number, not an adjective — found: “15%”
  • Something that removes the risk of trying you — found: “Start free”
  • A price, or at least a from-figure — found: “from $1”
  • An easy way to get in touch — found: “form field on page”
  • Answers to the questions people ask before buying — found: “schema.org:FAQPage”

What to add, in order of impact

  • Reviews or proof from real customers — Add a testimonial, customer logo, star rating, or an 'N customers' proof point near the top.

Action order

48-Hour Fix Plan

  • Keep monitoring and test conversion copy.

Why it matters

The fastest users do not read every page. They scan the first screen, trust signals, pricing cues and how easy it is to start a free trial. Missing signals make the offer harder to understand and easier to ignore.
