I check these pages once a week or so. Just a quick glance. Any coins with the term 'Shib' or 'Doge' in them I immediately ignore. But I rarely buy coins from swaps. I wait until they are on the exchanges. I play with too much money and there is too much risk for me to be play swap-only coins. But I will occasionally throw $100-200 at a swap coin and store it, if I think eventually it will land on a major exchange in the future.

For any coin I hear about, I go to coingecko or coinmarketcap first and I check Circulating Supply and Total Supply. In general, I like coins with less than 1b total supply. 500m or below is even juicier. But that doesn't mean I won't trade a coin with 30b supply if I think I can profit from it.
Then I check the projects website for more information, which is always linked to on the coingecko and coinmarketcap pages. You want to use these links from these pages, as they are trusted sources. A lot of fake scam websites in the crypto world.
I've never once read a whitepaper. Those are boring af and I don't have time for that sh!t.
Order in which my eye moves when I'm looking at a coin for first time.
1. current price
2. supply
3. volume
4. marketcap
5. web link
6. markets (to see where it's available; sort table by SOURCE to get alphabetical
Then I go to reddit to see if they have a community I can follow.
