Short answer

Across 2,160 area annotations Lazyweb Research scored in July 2026, offer carries the highest average model-assigned impact among high-volume areas at 3.69/5, followed by pricing at 3.53 and hero at 3.28. When you rank by the share of tests scored 4+/5, form (86.5%) and offer (66.4%) lead — but form rests on just 37 web annotations. The most-tested area, hero, sits mid-pack on impact. These are relative model scores on observed diffs, not measured lift. source[1]

The quotable stat
Offer has the highest average model-scored impact of any high-volume area at 3.69/5, with 66.4% of its tests scored 4+/5 — Lazyweb Research, 301 annotations, July 2026.

The pattern: money-adjacent surfaces (offer, pricing) score highest; layout/navigation surfaces (nav, announcement bar) score lowest. The most-tested area — hero — is only mid-pack, meaning teams test it heavily but the model rarely flags those changes as high-leverage. source[6]

How to apply it

If you're choosing where to spend a scarce experiment slot, the offer and pricing rows are the field's strongest signal that changes to the deal and the price move the needle most often. Form scores highest of all, but its 37 annotations are all web sign-up flows — treat it as 'when you have a form, the form matters,' not a mandate to add one. Nav and announcement-bar changes are common but rarely high-leverage, so reserve them for polish rather than headline bets.

Caveats

Impact is an LLM-assigned 1–5 score on a detected UI diff, usable only for relative ranking with n≥30 — never read it as a measured conversion lift. source[10] Form (n=37) and the n≥30 threshold mean small-area rankings are noisier than the offer/pricing/hero rows. HEADER (n=29) falls below threshold and is excluded.

Methodology

Universe: 2,160 area annotations across 1,126 detected experiments, July 2026, each scored 1–5 for impact by an LLM from the before/after diff. Rankings restricted to areas with n≥30; scores are relative signal, not measured conversion lift.
