- Audit existing forms Review current performance and identify high-friction fields that correlate with drop-offs.
- Limit field count Experiment with reducing fields to essentials; each drop in fields is an improvement.
- Improve labeling Use clear, benefit-focused labels and placeholders to reduce ambiguity.
- Enable real-time validation Provide immediate feedback to prevent errors and speed completion.
- Test order and layout Experiment with field order and visual grouping to guide users efficiently.
- Measure and iterate Run A/B tests and analyze results to refine form performance.
