Discover Your Website Performance Pain Points
If you rely on tools to test your website or application, you may never find what confused your users. Automated tools can show where problems are found within the code. Tools can look for specific pages and provide insights into how long users remain on a page and where they go next. However, they don’t have any idea why humans make the choices they do.
