Zarget, a full-service CRO tool, helps marketers drive email subscribers, guide users through the funnel, and get to know their website visitors. Using hard data can help you make vital decision about your website.
The point of every website is to bring in conversions, and the point of conversion optimization is to plug leaks in conversions. Strong optimization requires the use of different tools for different needs in order to bolster conversions, and oddly enough, that’s where traditional conversion optimization is lacking.
Traffic on a website can lose direction easily. A potential buyer can get distracted right before checkout if they have the option for coupons. If you showcase available offers instead and make them choose, it is more likely to yield in conversions. Another hurdle is intercepting users who wander aimlessly and get them on the path you intend. Funnel Analysis will help steer your traffic down the right path.
Zarget believes that conversion optimization should be as streamlined and intuitive as the results it promises. To that end, they offer multiple optimization modules in one software product, with full integration between them.
Track drop-off points with metrics like hesitation time, refocus points, and corrections made. Reducing the complexity of your signup form helps boost user signups — and eventually your business.
Smart design choices are no longer based on experienced assumptions. Boost your website conversion rates by letting CRO data decide your design elements. Try Zarget now!
Cloudinary is well known for solving the challenges you face when managing images and videos. With its newest enhancement, the company is also eliminating the complexities of media delivery by enabling the use of multiple content delivery networks (CDNs) to ensure end users quickly and reliably receive content.
Today, images account for more than 60 percent of downloaded content. Cloudinary enables you to optimize this content, ensuring great performance for your site. But image optimization is only one part of the equation. You also need to ensure efficient delivery of media, which is measured by availability, latency and throughput. CDNs move content closer to end users, helping to improve delivery. However a single CDN may not offer all of the best features for each user’s needs. Each CDN may have strengths in a specific geographic area, or there can be performance differences based on location of the end user, time of day or type of content.
Typically only businesses that operate websites with truly global reach and scale adopt a multi-CDN strategy because managing several CDNs is a complex, time-consuming job. CDNs have to be integrated, maintained and administered. Plus it’s costly having to enter into a separate contract for each CDN. Read the rest of this entry »
