When a user comes to your website, you have time in seconds to influence them. Web usability is the key to gain quick trust, brand recognition and ensure user retention.
So, what basically do you mean by usability?
It means to have a user-centered design. In user-centered design, both development and design processes revolve around user’s perspective in order to make sure to meet the user’s goals, mental models, and requirements while building efficient and easy to use products.
Investing in UX optimization is what makes you win the heart of users. Here we are compiling the list of parameters and top usability testing tools which will help you to optimize the user experience.
1. User Journey Analysis
The primary goal of a perfect website is whether users are able to perform their tasks when they visit your website. So, we need to test user task analysis on highest priority.
We have following considerations to take care of during testing of user task analysis:-
- Ease of use:- How easy is it for a new user to perform a task?
- Accuracy:- How vulnerable to errors is the task?
- Maintain Integrity:- If a user makes a mistake while doing a task, how fast can he recover?
- Instinctiveness:-How obvious and easy is the task to accomplish?
- More efficient:-Are users doing tasks with optimization?
There are many online tools available to check user task analysis. Here are the top usability testing tools for the same.

2. Readability
Readability is the measure of how easy it is to read and comprehend a document. Website content readability is one of the key features of great user experience. However, a web app is not content-centric as, say, a blog or web magazine, but a problem in the understanding user interface may affect user retention. So we dig into this problem and found top usability testing tools to test the readability of a web app.

It means how easy it is to move from one component to another component in a website. If a user lands on your website, he must be able to reach every page easily. Information Architecture, Findability, and Efficiency of Navigation are major concerns to take care of during setting up navigation of your website.
