Optimizing the First Impression (Above the Fold)
Learn to maximize conversion by perfecting what users see before scrolling: the icon, title, first screenshots, and rating that drive the install decision.
The Power of Above the Fold
Most install decisions happen from the above-the-fold area—what appears before any scrolling. Users glance, judge, and decide in seconds.
This lesson focuses on optimizing that critical first viewport.
What Sits Above the Fold
On a typical product page, the first screen shows:
- The app icon.
- The title and subtitle.
- The rating and review count.
- The first 1–3 screenshots or the preview video.
These few elements carry most of the conversion weight.
