Click-Through Rate

Lower Than Expected CTR

Users of the SearchStax Site Search solution sometimes report that the reported Click-Through Rate seems lower than expected.

Search analytics dashboard showing 50 total searches, 3 searches with clicks, and a 6.0% click-through rate.

SearchStax engineers determined that some browsers, notably Firefox, process click-through events in a way that under-reports the number of events. We made changes to the Search UI Kit to correct this behavior.

Site Search Apps and Vue-related custom search pages created after September 2024 incorporate this fix. No action is required.

For headless systems created before this time, you'll have to update your JS/Vue/Angular/React Framework by doing an npm install of a current SearchStudio UX Package.

Legacy Vue2 Accelerator clients will have to do a one-line change to the result template, from @click="go" to @click="go($event, url)".
