Global Averages Interpretation

While the data herds around a global average of roughly 2.5-3%, the real story is that for every hundred hopeful visitors browsing your site, you’re successfully charming about two to three of them into a purchase, which is a conversion rate that feels both triumphantly precise and pathetically small.
