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.
