Ask HN: Why do most analytics tools show what happened but not why?
1 comments
One pattern I keep noticing when analyzing landing pages:
High bounce rates often come from subtle trust gaps rather than obvious UX issues.
Examples I see a lot:
• weak credibility signals above the fold • unclear product positioning • pricing hesitation • cognitive overload in hero sections
Traditional analytics show the bounce rate but don't really reveal which psychological factor caused it.
Curious how other founders here approach diagnosing this.

But they rarely explain why visitors hesitated or lost trust.
For example: • unclear value proposition • weak credibility signals • cognitive overload in the hero section
I'm experimenting with a tool that tries to model this psychological layer.
Curious if others here have run into the same problem.
