Conversion rate optimisation

Why is my website traffic high but sales low?

Short answer

High traffic with low sales usually means the traffic isn’t qualified, the landing pages don’t match what visitors expected, the site is slow on mobile, or there is friction in pricing, delivery or checkout. Diagnose by traffic source and funnel step.

Look at which sources bring visitors who buy and which don’t. Cheap traffic from broad awareness ads or influencer spikes often converts poorly.

Then follow the funnel: if people view products but don’t add to cart, work on product pages and pricing; if they add to cart but don’t buy, work on checkout, shipping cost and payment options.
