How Can I Measure the Success of My Conversion Optimization Efforts?

- The percentage of visitors who take the desired action.
- Bounce Rate
- If people leave quickly, your page needs better messaging or design.
- Average Session Duration
- Longer time on site often means better engagement.
- Cart Abandonment Rate
