How to increase Sessions to Orders Conversion Rate

The best way to increase your session-order conversion rate is to make your website UX (user experience) as intuitive as possible. If your website isn’t user-friendly, visitors will struggle with even basic navigation such as completing the checkout flow.

Other times, however, a low session-order conversion rate might be due to a lack of quality or quantity of your ad content. There are many other reasons that might cause a visitor to leave your website without buying, but there are also some KPIs that can help you identify these reasons more easily, such as Cart Abandonment Rate and Pageviews per Visit.
