Homepage bounce rate tells you nothing. This tells you everything.

Most store owners check Google Analytics for traffic.

Almost none check it for why they're losing sales.

There's a report buried in Explore called Path Exploration. It shows exactly where visitors drop off — page by page.

40% leaving after they see shipping costs? That's not a design problem. That's a pricing problem.

Leaving on the product page? Missing reviews, no size guide, bad photos.

We run this before touching a single line of code on any redesign. It shows us the actual leak — not a guess.

It's free. It's already in your GA4. Explore → Path Exploration.

Most people never open it.

Have you?
