From optimizing your site speed to offering discounts and free shipping, there are countless strategies and tactics to improve your conversion rate (CVR). But before you can begin researching how to best design your site for conversion rate optimization (CRO), it's critical to understand how shoppers navigate your online store and where you're losing leads and sales.

‍

‍

You need to employ tools, application suites or CRO agencies to understand why visitors are not converting, to identify possible changes to your site and to test changes that can generate higher conversion rates.  

But with hundreds to choose from, it can be difficult to narrow down which tools will make the biggest difference to your CVR.

Web analytics tools

Used to collect quantitative data about your store and your visitors, web analytics tools measure metrics such as bounce rates, session duration and common exit pages.

1. Google Analytics and Google Analytics 360

Nearly 29 million websites rely on Google Analytics to track traffic patterns and visitor behavior in real time, including referrals, sessions and goal conversions.

2. Google PageSpeed and Google Lighthouse
