A conversion audit doesn't start with a new button color. First, it checks whether users can understand, find, compare, and buy the right product without avoidable hurdles. These 25 points form a reproducible first pass.

Offer and orientation

  1. Is it clear within a few seconds what is being sold?
  2. Are the audience and the main benefit concrete?
  3. Do navigation and search lead to the most important ranges?
  4. Are collections structured by real selection criteria?
  5. Is the next step on mobile devices unambiguous?

Product page

  1. Does the opening answer benefit, price, and variant?
  2. Do images show relevant details and use?
  3. Are delivery time, returns, and availability understandable?
  4. Do variants and sizes explain their differences?
  5. Does the buy button stay reachable without covering content?

Trust and decision

  1. Are reviews concrete and credible?
  2. Are shipping costs clear before checkout?
  3. Are contact, provider, and policies easy to find?
  4. Are claims backed up rather than just asserted?
  5. Does the FAQ address actual objections?

Cart and checkout

  1. Can quantity or variant be corrected easily?
  2. Are discounts and subtotal easy to follow?
  3. Does the cart work without unnecessary distraction?
  4. Are payment methods and express options displayed correctly?
  5. Do test orders go through on important devices?

Technology and measurement

  1. Is the LCP element optimized?
  2. Do images have suitable formats and sizes?
  3. Do View Item, Add to Cart, and Purchase fire correctly?
  4. Does tracking respect consent?
  5. Is there a prioritized hypothesis instead of an unordered list of errors?

An audit doesn't deliver a guarantee of results. It translates observations and data into testable priorities. For a new build, our guide to setting up a Shopify store also helps.
