Scatter plot
Which landing page test to use, and when
Eight ways to test a landing page, from cheap to costly

A map of eight ways to test a landing page. The further right, the more it shows what people actually do; the higher up, the more time and money it takes. A five-second test is cheap and shows whether the message lands, so run it first. Fake door pages, ad tests and pre-orders show demand but are hard to read if the page is confusing.
