The CRO Audit Checklist: Find Where Your Funnel Leaks

A CRO audit tells you where visitors hesitate, drop and leave without converting. Done well, it replaces guesswork with a ranked list of fixes so you spend effort where the return is highest.

This checklist is the backbone of every CRO audit we run, where we map the funnel before recommending a single change. We audit websites and stores for businesses across Brisbane and Sydney. To estimate the revenue impact of the fixes we find, use our ROI calculator.

Start with the data, not opinions

An audit begins with what already happened. Pull analytics for the main funnel steps so you can see where the biggest drop-offs are before you form a single opinion about why.

Work through the funnel layers

A thorough audit covers more than one angle. Each layer surfaces a different kind of friction, so a complete picture needs all of them.

LayerWhat it reveals
AnalyticsWhere the numbers drop
HeuristicsUsability and clarity problems
HeatmapsWhere attention and clicks go
RecordingsHow real visitors actually behave
FormsWhich fields cause hesitation

Inspect the high-stakes pages

Conversion lives or dies on a few pages. Give the landing pages, key product or service pages, the cart and the checkout closer attention than the rest of the site.

Rank the fixes by impact and effort

A list of problems is not an audit. The value is in ranking each finding by likely impact and the effort to fix it, so you know what to do first and what can wait.

Tie every finding to evidence. A recommendation without a screenshot, number or recording is just another opinion.
