Specifically, Baymard have conducted 54 rounds of manual benchmarking of 214 top-grossing US and European e-commerce sites across 666 UX guidelines . ‘Missed Opportunity’: If our large-scale usability testing revealed that a guideline has a relative high UX impact (the combined ‘Severity’ and ‘Frequency’), but our benchmarking at the same time reveals that most sites get this part of their design or implementation wrong, then the guideline is defined as a ‘Missed Opportunity’. Hence, the first guidelines in each topic tend to be those with the largest impact on UX, and are often direct roadblocks. The benchmarking specifically consists of “heuristic evaluations” of the 214 e-commerce sites using Baymard’s usability guidelines (derived from the large-scale qualitative usability testing) as the 666 review heuristics and weighted UX scoring parameters. The scores are summarized for all guidelines within the theme (typically 50-130 guidelines per theme, 666 in total), and then divided by the total number of applicable guidelines (to ensure “N/A” does not influence the score). ‘Web Convention’: If our benchmarking reveals that 80% or more of the largest e-commerce sites implement a specific guideline correctly then it’s defined as a ‘Web Convention’.
