When to use this Audit Template

A UX audit template provides a structured process for evaluating whether a website experience supports user goals and business outcomes.

It helps teams document friction points, evidence, and prioritized recommendations before redesign or optimization work begins.

Use it before redesigning a site or key conversion journey.
Use it when funnel drop-off indicates usability friction.
Use it during quarterly optimization reviews for mature sites.
Use it after feature launches change navigation or interactions.
Use it when stakeholders need evidence-based design priorities.

How to write a winning audit

UX audits should balance qualitative insight with measurable impact. Recommendations are more credible when tied to conversion risk, engagement quality, or support burden.

Device mix matters: mobile-dominant journeys often reveal navigation, readability, and form friction that desktop reviews miss.

For high-compliance industries, usability recommendations should account for legal copy and approval constraints, not just ideal interaction patterns.
