Homepage benchmark pages matter because the homepage often has to serve multiple intents at once: brand validation, navigation, product understanding, and progression into deeper commercial pages. Engaged visit rate, next-page progression, CTA click rate, and branded conversion assist.
Use these labeled KPIs together instead of judging homepage performance from one headline number. Conversion-sensitive metrics update when you change the conversion type above.

|---|---|---|---|

| CVR | 3.4% | 6.2% | Landing-page and offer effectiveness |
| CPA | $82 | $45 | Cost to generate the selected conversion |
| CPM | $12.40 | $7.80 | Auction pressure and reach efficiency |
| ROAS | 3.1x | 5.2x | Revenue efficiency where purchase value is tracked |
Engaged visit rate, next-page progression, CTA click rate, and branded conversion assist. Benchmarks should be interpreted with contextual commentary, not as standalone averages.
| Asset | Average | Median | Top Quartile | Bottom Quartile |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Homepage benchmarks are strongest when they judge clarity and progression quality rather than expecting the homepage to act like a tightly focused landing page.
They usually more navigation-led than conversion-led, so progression quality and clarity often matter more than direct CVR alone.
Sharper positioning, clearer audience routing, stronger social proof, and fewer competing top-level messages usually create the best gains.
