“61% of users won’t return to a mobile site they had trouble accessing”

The Mobile Visitor Exodus: Why Sites Fail

When visitors encounter poor mobile experiences:

  1. 53% abandon pages that take over 3 seconds to load
  2. 48% feel frustrated by unresponsive elements
  3. 74% will return to search results for a better option

These reactions explain why non-optimized sites lose 60% of mobile traffic (Portent) – a revenue hemorrhage most businesses ignore.


5 Mobile Experience Killers (and Professional Solutions)

Problem: Elements overflow screens, horizontal scrolling required
