Question 1

What does a 'micro-conversion' represent in ecommerce CRO?

Accepted Answer

A small step toward the final conversion goal, such as adding to cart or signing up for email

Answer

Micro-conversions are incremental actions (email signup, add-to-cart, wishlist) that indicate user intent and move shoppers toward the macro-conversion (purchase).

Question 2

Which heatmap type shows where users click most frequently on a page?

Accepted Answer

Click map

Answer

Click maps aggregate all user click data to show hotspots, revealing which elements attract the most interaction and which are ignored.

Question 3

An ecommerce site has a 2% CVR on desktop but 0.8% on mobile. What is the FIRST action to investigate?

Accepted Answer

Audit the mobile checkout flow for friction points

Answer

A large desktop-to-mobile CVR gap typically signals mobile UX friction — slow load times, small tap targets, or a cumbersome checkout — that must be audited before other changes.

Question 4

What is 'form field reduction' as a CRO tactic?

Accepted Answer

Removing unnecessary fields from checkout or lead forms to reduce friction

Answer

Minimizing the number of required form fields reduces cognitive load and abandonment, directly improving completion and conversion rates.

Question 5

Which metric specifically measures the percentage of single-page sessions where users left without interaction?

Accepted Answer

Bounce rate

Answer

Bounce rate is the percentage of sessions where a visitor lands on a page and leaves without triggering any additional requests to the analytics server.
