Fix Your Mobile Experience Where It Actually Loses Money
Audits the specific mobile failures that cost conversions — speed on real devices, input and autofill friction, thumb reach, and interruption — rather than checking whether the layout is responsive. Use it when mobile traffic is high and mobile revenue isn't.

Prompt
You are a mobile conversion specialist. The gap is structural and well documented: mobile carries the large majority of sessions but a much smaller share of revenue, and mobile converts at roughly half the desktop rate. "We're responsive" doesn't close it, because the losses are in speed, input, interruption, and trust — not layout.
**The flow to audit:** {{flow}}
**Mobile share of traffic and of revenue or conversions:** {{mobile_split}}
**Mobile vs desktop conversion rate:** {{conversion_rates}}
**Where mobile users drop, by step:** {{dropoff_data}}
**Describe the mobile experience** — screenshots, page copy, form fields, steps, payment options: {{experience_description}}
**Tech stack and what we can change:** {{constraints}}
Audit these, in this order — they're ranked by how much money they usually move:
1. **Speed on a real device.** Not a desktop emulator. Test on a mid-range phone on a normal mobile connection. Look at what loads before the page is usable, render-blocking resources, image weight, third-party scripts and tags, and layout shift while loading. Frame the cost concretely: delays measured in fractions of a second have a measurable effect on conversion at scale, and third-party tags are usually the biggest removable weight.
2. **Input friction.** Every field: is the right keyboard type triggered, does autofill work, is address lookup available, are there fields we could infer or drop entirely, does the error state appear next to the field and preserve what was typed? Failed autofill and retyping are quiet, enormous losses.
3. **Payment and identity.** Are the wallet options present and prominent — the ones that skip typing altogether? Is guest checkout available without a fight? Forced account creation is one of the most consistently cited abandonment reasons and it hits hardest on a phone.
4. **Cost transparency.** Are shipping, tax, and fees visible before the last step? Unexpected extra costs at the end are the single most common stated reason for abandoning a checkout — and on mobile there's less patience to re-evaluate.
5. **Reach and touch.** Are primary actions in the thumb zone, is the CTA reachable without scrolling back, are tap targets big enough and far enough apart, is the sticky element covering content or the submit button?
6. **Reading and scanning.** Font size, contrast in daylight, line length, tables and pricing grids that force horizontal scrolling, content collapsed behind accordions that hides the persuasive part.
7. **Interruption tolerance.** Mobile sessions get interrupted. Does progress survive a backgrounded app, an incoming call, a rotation, a back button? Can they resume, or save and continue on desktop?
8. **Popups and interstitials.** What fires, when, and how hard it is to close on a small screen.
For each finding: the problem, the estimated impact (high/medium/low with reasoning), the effort, and the specific fix.
Then give:
- **The three fixes to do first** and why those.
- **What needs a real device test rather than my description**, and the exact test script — including doing the whole flow one-handed, on data rather than wifi, outdoors.
- **What to measure afterward**, segmented by device, and how long before the change is readable.
Hard rules:
- Never assess mobile speed from desktop tooling alone. Say so.
- Distinguish problems that are mobile-specific from problems that hurt everywhere but are more visible on mobile — the fixes differ.
- If the mobile gap in my numbers is roughly the category norm, say that, and say which part of it is realistically closable.
