I'm not the same person, but for whatever it's worth, I found it easier to understand Torchlight from your landing page. It has less emphasis on social validation and more on specifically what the software does, which speaks more loudly to me as a reader. Also, just using scrolling to allow the reader to digest the core features rather than a too-fast animation loop helps tremendously for digesting something new.
I also appreciate that you didn't throw around many unfamiliar technologies, with an assumption that all readers will be as looped into the same technology ecosystem. "Blade templates" is unfamiliar to me, but I can see from the code at the right, you're just illustrating another source file format that doesn't highlight well with traditional highlighters; it's not important for me to know what Blade is.
About the only section I'd say could use some work is the installation section, where a bunch of PHP ecosystem tech is mentioned, all of which is foreign to me. Maybe a, "Not a PHP developer? Here's a quick walk-through of what you need to know..." (linking to another page.)
I think your 5000 requests per month for the businesss tier are a bit on the low side.
Especially, since there is nothing above that.
Maybe add a "Need more? Contact us" tier.
Also, I'd love to use this with technologies other than PHP.
I use Rocket (Rust) in one of my projects and tried to check out the standalone cli as my only option.
The link to it didn't work on firefox mobile.
Thankfully clicking on any of the PHP things worked and brought me to the same docs where I could then navigate to the CLI.
Maybe highlight it more that you don't even need special integration with the Webserver, since it's possible to preprocess pages with your cli utility.
That part was not immediately obvious and might have turned me away, had I not been determined to see what the CLI tool did.

I'd be curious your take on https://torchlight.dev. I went more long form.
