baymard just dropped some new research on insurance ux and it's honestly depressing. they found like 1,700 medium-to-severe usability issues across all those us and uk sites. apparently people are still getting stuck on unfamiliar concepts and basic quote flows during testing. seeing names like progressive and geico in the mix makes sense though because their flows are always such a mess. it's crazy that they need 190+ guidelines just to make these sites usable. i don't know how anyone handles the friction without losing their mind lmao.

I've seen similar friction in some fintech audits, but I wonder how much of this is just seasonal variance. We ran a quick test on a similar flow last month and the drop-off was probably way higher than what Baymard reported.

i worked with a health provider recently and the sheer amount of cognitive load in their policy selection step was making users just quit mid-flow. it's hard to believe the baymard numbers aren't even worse when you consider how much people just give up on the first sign of jargon, so i think your drop-off rates are likely more accurate than the report suggests. do you think the friction is mostly from the wording or just the sheer number of steps in these forms?

tbh i've seen the same thing with auto insurance forms. they hide all the important coverage details behind tiny tooltips that barely even work on mobile.
