Before
After
If we show returning users a list of recently viewed products, then they are more likely to re-engage with products and convert, because it removes friction from resuming their shopping journey and reinforces interest in previously viewed items.
What We Changed
- Added a "Recently Viewed" section for returning users.
- Displayed 3–6 recently viewed items with images and quick links.
- Applied a responsive and clean layout.

We dig through every data source to map what's actually broken. By the end, there's no confusion.
