ASOS UX Case Study
This is a case study of ASOS’ e-commerce user experience (UX) performance. It’s based on an exhaustive performance review of 932 design elements. 250 other sites have also been benchmarked for a complete picture of the e-commerce UX landscape.
ASOS’s overall e-commerce UX performance is mediocre. This is mainly due to poor Mobile Web and mediocre Desktop Web performances.
First benchmarked in September 2016, and reviewed 23 times since then, most recently in July 2024.
