Why Traditional CRO Doesn’t Work for Low Traffic Websites
Most traditional conversion rate optimisation (CRO) methods rely on A/B testing — splitting traffic between two variants and waiting for statistical significance. But if your website receives under 15,000 visits per month, these tests are often unreliable, inconclusive, or misleading.
- Low sample sizes mean false positives are common, leading to bad decisions.
- Tests take too long to reach confidence, delaying improvements.
- Most traffic is wasted on losing variants or unmeasurable changes.
If you’re running paid campaigns, every session counts. Waiting months for a minor tweak to prove itself isn’t just frustrating — it’s expensive.
