KFC UX Case Study
This is a case study of KFC’s e-commerce user experience (UX) performance. It’s based on an exhaustive performance review of 209 design elements. 250 other sites have also been benchmarked for a complete picture of the e-commerce UX landscape.
KFC’s overall e-commerce UX performance is mediocre. Some of KFC’s biggest UX issues are caused by broken Mobile Web On-Site Search, Mobile Web Homepage & Category Navigation, and Mobile Web Restaurant Lists & Menus performances.
First benchmarked in April 2022 and reviewed once in May 2024.
