3) Short Responses

3.1 What question were you trying to answer?

I wanted to understand where users drop off in the journey from their first visit to completing a purchase and whether device type influences conversion performance.

3.2 What did you find?

  • Out of 42,001 users, only 1.1% completed a purchase, resulting in a 98.9% drop-off rate.
  • The largest drop-off occurred between screen/page view and purchase.
  • Mobile users accounted for 21,575 users, slightly more than desktop users (20,185 users).
  • Despite strong traffic volume, overall purchase conversion remained very low.

3.3 What’s your next investigation step based on the results?

Next, I would break down the funnel by traffic source. I think it would be useful to look at direct vs. paid traffic to determine which acquisition channel is contributing most to the high drop-off before purchase.

3.4 What’s one action you would recommend for your CEP/client?

  • Optimize the checkout experience to reduce friction between product viewing and purchase.
  • Prioritize improvements to the mobile checkout experience, since mobile represents the largest share of traffic.
