# Shorten page layout and reduce copy on landing pages

**Evidence grade: Tested.** Outside evidence supports it: a published experiment, or customer sites where verify_change found the change live long enough ago to count as kept.

Observed on 3 corpus sites. Page types: homepage, landing.

## Why it works

For audiences that prefer simplicity and straightforward information, shorter pages with less copy reduce cognitive load and make the conversion action more immediately accessible. Less scrolling and reading means faster decision-making.
