Lowe’s E-Commerce UX

This is a case study of Lowe’s e-commerce user experience (UX) performance. It’s based on an exhaustive performance review of 299 design elements. 243 other sites have also been benchmarked for a complete picture of the e-commerce UX landscape.

Lowe’s overall e-commerce UX performance is decent. This is especially thanks to good On-Site Search UX performance, but Lowe’s is impeded by broken Homepage & Category Navigation.

First benchmarked in April 2012, and reviewed 30 times since then, most recently in January 2024.
