Conversion diagnosis · Shopify

Shopify conversion rate suddenly dropped?

A sudden conversion drop is a change problem before it is a redesign problem. Find what changed first.

What I would diagnose before changing anything.

The same disappointing number can be caused by very different failures. Fixing the wrong layer wastes time and budget.

01

Traffic mix

Did the source or quality of visitors change before the conversion rate did?

02

Theme and apps

What changed in the storefront, scripts or app stack?

03

Price and shipping

Did the economics or delivery promise become less competitive?

04

Stock and merchandising

Are high-traffic products unavailable or harder to find?

05

Measurement

Did tracking change and make the fall look larger than it is?

The expensive mistake

A redesign can hide the cause of a drop instead of fixing it.
