BookPress — landing page micro-audit

Format of the $19 BTC micro-audit: 3 prioritized fixes, before → after, plus 1 metric to watch.

What the page says today

“WordPress sites, plugins and all, faster than the PHP stack.”

“BookPress renders each page faster than a well-tuned WordPress setup.”

“Put it on one site of your own for $1€0.85, and take the site back to WordPress with one command.”

Fix 1 (highest impact) — Hero: put the reversible $1 trial next to the speed claim

Before: H1 sells speed; the $1 early-access / one-command rollback is buried in the next paragraph.

After:

H1: “WordPress, plugins and all — faster than PHP.” Subline: “$1 early access on one of your sites. One command back to WordPress if you change your mind.”

Fix 2 — CTA: demo vs $1 start compete

Before: “Try the live demo”, “Download the plugin” and “Get started for $1” sit without a clear primary for a self-hoster.

After:

Primary: “Start on one site — $1”; secondary: “Open the live demo”.

Fix 3 — Offer: currency formatting confuses the price

Before: UI shows “$1€0.85” which reads like a broken string, not a clear price.

After:

Say “$1 (≈ €0.85) early access · one site · one-command rollback”.

Metric hypothesis

If Fix 1 + 2 ship, watch paid $1 early-access starts from the hero for 2 weeks against the current page; hypothesis only, no data from BookPress.
