This paper employed an extended G G -expansion method to investigate the conformal fractional Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation. By applying a traveling-wave transformation, we derive three types of analytical solutions that describe this fractional equation, thereby providing a useful theoretical foundation and intuitive interpretation for understanding its dynamical behavior. Analysis of the obtained solutions revealed that when both spatiotemporal orders approach 1, the regularity of the solutions becomes highly complex in a specific region. However, when one of the parameters λ or μ is taken as 1 and the other as 0, the regularity region is significantly improved. Furthermore, the comparison showed that the regularity becomes worse as λ + μ 2 increases. The corresponding contour plots serve as a clear supplement to the complex variations in regularity. We also considered the influence of the parameter k on the solutions: larger values of k lead to more singularities in the solutions and increase the likelihood of blow-up, while smaller values of k reduce singularities and promote the global existence of the solutions.
