• Track session recordings: Watching real users interact with your site helps identify frustrations.

Day 3–4: User Research

Addressing the visitor’s challenging points is critical. Gathering direct feedback could be the easiest method to get the job done.

Quick Actions:

• Run a short survey: Google Forms or Typeform can assist you with free service.
