Viasat UX Case Study
This is a case study of Viasat’s e-commerce user experience (UX) performance. It’s based on an exhaustive performance review of 297 design elements. 250 other sites have also been benchmarked for a complete picture of the e-commerce UX landscape.
Viasat’s overall e-commerce UX performance is poor. This is mainly due to broken On-Site Search, broken Application Flow, and poor Homepage & Category performances.
First benchmarked in February 2023.
