Where the Conversion
Leaks Are

The homepage's lack of a clear value proposition and primary CTA, combined with multiple competing CTAs and a rotating hero, dilutes user focus and prevents visitors from understanding Yahoo's core offering, thereby bleeding conversion potential. The most valuable conversion mechanism on this site is personalization (sign-in), but it is buried among other CTAs and not clearly communicated, so users don't see the benefit of signing in.
