What is form abandonment

Form abandonment occurs when respondents start filling out a form but exit before reaching the last page. When respondents abandon forms, it indicates a lost opportunity for capturing valuable leads or completing transactions. Addressing your page drop-off rate is crucial for improving overall conversion rates, enhancing customer satisfaction, and maximizing business outcomes.
