Interpreting the User Flow Visualization

The visualization displays pathways users take through your website, highlighting common entry points, navigation patterns, and exit pages. Pay attention to:

Use the insights from the visualization to improve your website. For example:

  • Enhance pages with high drop-off rates to retain visitors.
  • Simplify navigation paths that are overly complex.
