What the big winners have in common

The elements that show up most in the two top-20 lists: layout, fonts & visual design (9), upsells & cross-sells (5), filters, sorting & site search (5), product images & gallery (5), headlines, product titles & copy (4).

Most big wins fix something that was clearly broken or missing, rather than polishing something that already worked.

Why big lifts often shrink on a retest

The biggest results in any list are partly luck: a test that happened to run hot gets reported, and a retest usually lands lower.

Small samples make it worse, because a few extra orders swing the percentage a lot.

Treat a huge lift as a strong reason to test the idea, not as the lift you should expect.
