What is Conversion Rate?
The percentage of visitors who take a desired action, like signing up or making a purchase.
Why It Matters
Improving conversion rate means getting more value from existing traffic without spending more on marketing.
Real-World Example
If 1,000 people visit your site and 30 sign up, your conversion rate is 3%.
“Understanding terms like Conversion Rate matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
