A credibility-dense showcase of financial infrastructure that still makes visitors work hard to find their own next step.
Stripe's homepage remains an impressive proof-of-scale document — dense with named enterprise logos, hard metrics, and live product mockups that few competitors can match. But the fundamental UX problem flagged in the last audit is unresolved: the hero still leads with a single ambiguous CTA ('Request an invite') before segmenting by audience, forcing every visitor type through the same undifferentiated scroll. Mobile usability signals (sub-32px tap targets, sub-12px text) are essentially unchanged version over version, suggesting these are design-system-level debts rather than page-specific oversights. The intelligence/innovation narrative continues to be the standout, with agentic commerce and AI dev tooling given real visual real estate.

This version shows near-zero measurable movement from the last audit — page height, tap-target count, and small-text count are all within noise of the prior capture, and every previously identified issue is still present in the current screenshots.
