Most of the UX studies are subjectivism dressed as objectivism.

The entire field is like nutrition or fitness, 90% of it is bogus and made up. None of these studies have proper controlled experiments while still trying to appear as authoritative.

No one takes a step back and realize that physical books are an interface and so is your kitchen. Photons hitting your eyeballs have no clue if it came from a computer monitor or the world around you. Organizing visual information is far deeper than these "UI/UX" experts.

I don't understand the infatuation with obscure irrelevant studies to make a point. None of these are remotely relevant to the page in question. Linking to sources isn't a way to escape basic common sense scrunity.
Basic common sense says the site has poor visual hierarchy. These links in the past several posts have been to highlight that the common sense understanding is that it has poor visual hierarchy.

The basic scrutiny agrees with me, and the sources are to help provide both subjective and objective reference that shows that, yes, the common person would prefer a more structured layout.
