High Website Traffic Fails to Convert Into Paying Customers
A founder reports over 35,000 views and 1,500 website visits with zero paid customers, and is unsure what is going wrong. This reflects a common, structural problem where traffic and attention do not translate into revenue, without visibility into where the conversion funnel breaks down.
Signup-Blocking Bugs Go Undetected Until After Traffic Is Wasted
A founder describes driving 118 visitors to a new product with zero signups, only discovering after manual digging that two bugs in the signup flow were silently blocking conversions. This illustrates a broader risk for early-stage builders: critical funnel bugs can go undetected by standard analytics and burn through scarce early traffic before anyone notices. It matters because acquisition is expensive and unrecoverable once wasted on a broken flow.
