GAP’s E-Commerce UX

GAP’s overall e-commerce UX performance is mediocre. Their UX is especially thwarted by usability issues related to poor Customer Accounts, Homepage & Category, and On-Site Search performances.
First benchmarked in April 7, 2012, and reviewed 26 times since then, most recently December 16, 2022.
