The 3-click myth is a widely held belief that users should be able to find what they need on a website within three clicks.<\/b> While this idea promotes simplicity and efficiency, it oversimplifies the complexities of user behavior and the diverse needs of different audiences. In reality, users are often willing to click more than three times if they perceive value in the content or product they are seeking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This myth can lead to misguided design decisions that prioritize superficial metrics over genuine user engagement. To truly understand user behavior, we must recognize that each click represents a decision point. Users navigate through a web of choices, weighing their options based on their goals and motivations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
