Conversion Insights Dashboard with Revenue Data
Conversion Insights measures the impact of site speed on eCommerce key performance indicators (KPIs).
Yottaa currently offers two versions of the Conversion Insights dashboard. This topic covers the new version currently in beta that assesses the impact of site speed and Yottaa optimizations on revenue metrics like Revenue, Revenue Per Session, and Average Order Value and other metrics detailed in this topic . The new beta dashboard version displays Estimated Revenue Lift or Revenue Lift, Revenue, and Revenue Per Session in the first row of KPIs, as well as other information about how Yottaa is affecting your revenue.
If you see the Revenue KPIs, you have access to the new beta dashboard version. If you do not see the Revenue KPIs, you have the existing version of the Conversion Insights Dashboard.
To qualify for the beta:
-
100% of a site's revenue must be in the US dollar currency. Additional currencies will be supported in the future.
-
Revenue Tracking requirements must be met for accurately capturing revenue data.
Please work with customer support to access the new beta version of the dashboard.

Estimated Revenue Lift/Revenue Lift |
Estimated Revenue Lift—Calculates the incremental revenue gain attributed to Yottaa's optimizations by calculating the difference between Optimized and Unoptimized Revenue Per Session and extrapolating across all Sessions within a given time frame Revenue Lift—Calculates the incremental revenue gain attributed to Yottaa’s optimizations by directly comparing Revenue from Optimized traffic to Unoptimized traffic. Estimated Revenue Lift displays when the site’s traffic is split unevenly between optimized and unoptimized sessions. Revenue Lift displays if traffic is split 50/50 between optimized and unoptimized sessions. |
|
Revenue |
The total revenue generated from every session that results in an order. |
|
Revenue Per Session |
The average revenue per session calculated by dividing total revenue by number of sessions. This indicates the monetary value each session contributes to the overall business. |
|
Average Order Value |
The average revenue per order calculated by dividing total revenue by total number of orders. This helps to evaluate spending habits of shoppers and impact of sales strategies on buyers. |
|
Optimized Page Load Time |
The average onload the time it takes for the initial HTML document to load with all stylesheets, images, and subframes. At this point, the page is usually interactive to users. "Onload time" is equal to the high-resolution timestamp returned by the PerformanceNavigationTiming.loadEventEnd property. time for optimized traffic, compared to the average onload time for unoptimized traffic. Onload time measures the time it takes for the initial HTML document to fully load, including all stylesheets, images, and subframes necessary for user interaction. Fast page load times are critical for user retention and can significantly impact conversion rates and revenue per session. |
|
Sessions |
Total number of sessions for the selected date range . A session is the period of time in which a shopper is active on your site. A session ends or times out after 30 minutes of shopper inactivity. A session may comprise one or several page views. |
|
Conversions |
Represents total conversions. A conversion is defined to occur when a site visitors’ session reaches the order confirmation page, indicating a transaction has taken place. This indicates the site’s effectiveness for turning a visitor into a paying consumer. Each session can have only one conversion. |
|
Conversion Rate |
The percentage of your shoppers' sessions The period of time when a customer is active on your site. A session times out after 30 minutes of inactivity. that reach the order confirmation page, indicating a completed transaction (a conversion). |
|
Bounce Rate |
The percentage of sessions The period of time when a customer is active on your site. A session times out after 30 minutes of inactivity. that end after viewing only one site page. |
|
Session Depth |
The average number of page views in a session. Deeper sessions often indicate higher shopper interest and purchase intent. |
The Optimization Impact section quantifies the effectiveness of Yottaa’s site speed enhancements by comparing the performance of optimized traffic against unoptimized, or hold-out, traffic. This comparison highlights the tangible impact of optimization across several metrics such as Revenue per Session, Average Order Value, and Conversion Rate. For instance, a significant reduction in Page Load Time can noticeably improve the user experience, resulting in an uplift in Revenue per Session.
For each metric displayed in the KPIs at the top of the dashboard, the Optimization Impact table displays the total value for the optimized and the unoptimized traffic, as well as the net impact and the percentage impact that Yottaa optimization provides as measured by that metric.
Click on any metric in the table on the right to display its Optimization Impact and Optimization Impact %, both numerically and visually with the optimized and unoptimized values in a graph.
The following table describes the KPIs and graph on the left side of the Optimization Impact section shown above.

Conversion Zone Analysis identifies the range where the highest conversion rates occur and shows the impact of keeping your traffic within that range. Note that if optimizations are not yet applied, the dashboard displays a simplified version of the Conversion Zone without the optimized versus unoptimized comparison. You still see a Conversion Zone as well as the comparison that shows why it’s important to be in the range.
Using an eCommerce site’s onload metrics, Conversion Zone identifies the load time range where at least 60% of conversions take place and the cumulative conversion rate is highest. The cumulative conversion rate is calculated by taking all the conversions in a time range and dividing it by all the sessions in the same time range.
Example: Sessions in the 0-4 second range:
50 conversions / 1000 sessions = 5% cumulative conversion rate
In the Conversion Zone section, you can:
-
See at top left how many sessions fall within the Conversion Zone when traffic is optimized versus unoptimized.
-
Dynamically visualize the correlation between site speed and key eCommerce metrics such as Revenue per Session, Conversion Rate, and Average Order Value over various load times.
-
Select the metrics you want to observe, to manipulate the graph to your preference.
