Your E-Commerce Store Is Leaking Money

# Why Your E-Commerce Store Is Leaking Money (And How to Plug the Holes) Your online store looks amazing. The photos are crisp, the colors pop, and your product descriptions read like poetry. There's just one tiny problem — nobody's buying. ## The Uncomfortable Truth About E-Commerce Here's a stat that should make every e-commerce owner sweat: **the average online store converts at just 2-3%**. That means for every 100 people who visit your site, 97 of them leave without spending a dime. Some of those visitors probably have their credit cards out, ready to buy — but something on your site scared them away. The question is: *what?* Weblytics doesn't just tell you your site is slow (though it will absolutely do that if it is). It goes deeper.

If your store generates $100,000 in sales per month, that’s a staggering **$8,400 lost every year** just from speed alone. If you think that’s a small number, consider that the average shopping [cart abandonment](https://baymard.com/lists/cart-abandonment-rate) rate is around **70%**. Many of those customers are just one faster checkout away from completing their purchase. In fact, **according to a study by the Baymard Institute**, 18% of users abandon their carts because the checkout process is too long or complicated.
