5 mistakes that kill an e-commerce site (and how to avoid them)

A beautiful e-commerce site isn't enough: what matters is that it sells. Here are the 5 mistakes that drive customers away — and how to avoid them.

1. A site that's too slow

Every extra second of loading drops sales. Unoptimized images, weak hosting, bloated theme: speed is the first conversion killer.

2. A complicated checkout

Too many steps, mandatory sign-up, hidden fees at the end: every friction loses carts. Aim for a short, clear path with checkout in a few clicks.

3. Not optimized for mobile

Most Moroccans buy on a smartphone. A non-responsive site that's hard to use with a thumb means half your sales lost.

4. A lack of trust

No customer reviews, no secure-payment mentions, no visible contact: the buyer hesitates and leaves. Reassurance (reviews, guarantees, WhatsApp) is essential.

5. No SEO

Without optimization (titles, product descriptions, speed, content), Google can't find you and you depend 100% on paid ads.
