Users rarely drop off because they suddenly lose interest. More often, they hesitate because something feels unclear, risky, or overwhelming. It might be a value proposition that isn’t landing fast enough, missing reassurance around quality or returns, or having too many options that make choosing feel hard. Small moments of uncertainty stack up and turn intent into inaction.

Brands like Casper tackled this by simplifying product choices and reducing decision fatigue, which helped customers move forward with more confidence. At Suplex, we usually spend one to two weeks analysing where hesitation shows up and what’s causing it. If you want to pinpoint and remove the doubt in your buying journey, getting on a call with our experts at Suplex can help surface what’s really getting in the way.

One of the biggest CRO mistakes brands make is testing without a reason. Random A/B tests, copying competitors, or chasing “best practices” often lead to cosmetic changes that don’t move real business metrics. Without understanding why users behave a certain way, optimisation becomes guesswork.

Companies like Booking.com succeed because they test with clear hypotheses rooted in user behaviour and data, not intuition alone. At Suplex, we usually spend one to two weeks auditing CRO issues to identify what’s genuinely hurting conversions before suggesting experiments. If you want to fix the right problems instead of running random tests, having a conversation with our experts at Suplex can help set a more effective CRO direction.

In CRO, not all changes are equal; in fact, the very first step is to weigh potential impact against effort and risk. High-traffic areas, critical steps in the funnel, and moments where users hesitate tend to offer the biggest returns. Smaller cosmetic tweaks can wait; however, the goal is to focus on changes that meaningfully affect behaviour, not just appearance.

Companies like Amazon prioritise improvements in their highest-traffic and highest-impact flows before touching edge cases. At Suplex, we usually spend about a week mapping CRO opportunities into a clear priority order, so teams know exactly where to start. If you want help zeroing in on what will actually move conversion, having a word with our experts at Suplex can help sharpen that focus.

Improving conversions shouldn’t come at the cost of how your brand is perceived. Tactics that feel pushy, manipulative, or desperate might lift numbers in the short term, but they quietly erode trust. The better approach is to align persuasion with your brand’s tone, values, and level of confidence. When messaging feels honest and consistent, customers move forward because they want to, not because they were pressured.

Brands like Apple are a good example of this balance. Their experiences convert strongly without relying on aggressive tactics, because the product story, design, and reassurance do the heavy lifting. At Suplex, we usually spend two to three weeks working through trust-safe optimisation, making sure changes support both conversion and credibility. If you want to grow responsibly without damaging brand equity, speaking with our experts at Suplex can help shape that approach.
