Hi, I am Stephan, co-founder and CEO of Exatom. We know how frustrating it is to have forms that do not convert well. That is why we built form analytics and optimisation tools.

On average, online forms and checkouts have more than 20 friction points that make visitors abandon. I have listed the ten most common conversion killers, and I am happy to share what I have learned about conversion optimisation with you.

Who is this ebook for?

CRO specialists, UX designers and digital marketers who want to reduce friction in their forms and checkouts and improve their website's conversion.

What is a conversion killer?

Any element in a form or checkout that makes visitors hesitate, get frustrated or abandon altogether. They are often overlooked UX or technical details.
