How to Run a Mobile CRO Audit

Most websites get more visitors on mobile than desktop, yet most audits are done on a large screen with a mouse. That mismatch hides the friction where most of your traffic actually is. A mobile CRO audit looks at the journey your majority really experiences.

A dedicated mobile pass is part of every CRO Audit we deliver, since that is where most sites lose the most conversions.

Audit on real devices, not a resized window

A desktop browser shrunk to phone width does not feel like a phone. Real devices add slow connections, on-screen keyboards and touch targets, which is where the genuine friction lives. Always audit on actual hardware over mobile data.

Segment the data to mobile only

A blended conversion rate buries the mobile story. Pull mobile out on its own so a weak mobile funnel is not hidden inside a healthy desktop average.

Inspect the touch journey

Touch is not click. Walk the mobile path looking for the friction that only appears under a thumb on a small screen.

Watch mobile recordings and sessions

Mobile session recordings reveal mis-taps, pinch-zooming and rage taps that numbers never show. Filter recordings to mobile visitors who dropped, and the recurring problems quickly point to the fixes worth testing.

Hand your phone to someone unfamiliar with the site and ask them to complete a purchase or enquiry. Their stumbles surface mobile friction faster than any report.
