FreshDirect UX Case Study
This is a case study of FreshDirect’s e-commerce user experience (UX) performance. It’s based on an exhaustive performance review of 414 design elements. 250 other sites have also been benchmarked for a complete picture of the e-commerce UX landscape.
FreshDirect’s overall e-commerce UX performance is mediocre. Some of FreshDirect’s biggest UX issues are caused by broken Cart & Checkout, poor Homepage & Category, and poor Mobile Web performances.
First benchmarked in April 2021.
