It's 3 PM on a Tuesday. Your Google Ads are running. Your social media campaign is driving traffic. Everything looks perfect in your analytics dashboard.
But here's what you don't see: 47% of your visitors are hitting errors before they ever reach your checkout page. Your "Add to Cart" button loads a white screen for mobile users. Your product images won't upload. Your site throws a 500 error every time someone tries to create an account.
You're hemorrhaging money, and you don't even know it.
The brutal truth?
Just a 1-second delay in page load time equals 11% drop in page views and 7% loss in conversions
Actual errors cause abandonment rates as high as 88%
