Key Components
of a UX Audit:
What is a UX Audit?
Is the process of evaluation of a product's user experience to identify usability issues, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement.
Purpose: To assess the product’s performance against UX best practices and user needs, providing insights into where enhancements can be made for a better user experience.
Outcome: A comprehensive report outlining key UX issues, recommendations for improvements, and prioritized action items that can optimize usability, increase engagement, and drive conversions.
Ultimately, a UX audit helps align a product with user expectations, driving both business success and user satisfaction.
