Linear's mobile homepage makes visitors wait for the pitch
The page is polished once it arrives. On a phone, the main promise took 18.4 seconds to finish appearing. That is enough time for interested visitors to lose patience before Linear gets to make its case.
Owner brief
We checked Linear's public homepage on desktop and mobile, followed the visible signup route, and tested the first 20 links. One issue stood out: the mobile page is much slower than the desktop experience.
We could not verify a current paid ad for Linear, so we did not assess the match between an ad and this page.
The leak
Mobile visitors can wait 18.4 seconds for the main promise
On a phone, the first page content took 11.3 seconds to appear. The main promise did not finish appearing until 18.4 seconds. On desktop, that same main content appeared in 5.2 seconds.
The visitor has already chosen to give Linear attention. A long black screen or half-loaded opening makes that attention easy to lose, especially when the next step is a signup.
Start with the mobile opening. Load the headline and signup action before the large product demo and anything else below the fold. Then cut or delay page code that does not help a visitor understand the offer or move forward.
FunnelWatch should recheck this page after homepage, animation, analytics, and product-demo releases. Keep the opening promise fast even as the site changes.
Scope of this audit
Funnel depth tested: public homepage to the signup route. We checked desktop and mobile views, the visible offer, the signup link, the first 20 page links, and whether campaign details survived the homepage load.
We did not create an account or submit a form. Signup completion, onboarding, billing, sales follow-up, and emails were not tested.
The commercial close
A homepage can look perfect in a design review and still lose the mobile visitor before the pitch appears. These leaks return when animations, page code, analytics, or product demos change.
FunnelWatch keeps checking the path after releases, so Linear can catch a slow handoff before more visitors hit it.
