Best practices
- Start with evidence — audit before you change product page depth
- Prioritize the highest-traffic surfaces first
- Document decisions so the team can repeat them
- Measure the outcome, not just the output
Common mistakes
- Copying tactics from stores that look nothing like yours
- Optimizing product page depth without a baseline metric
- Changing too many variables at once
Summary
Product page depth is a foundation, not a finish line. Treat product page depth as an ongoing practice and connect every change to a metric you already trust.
