Use them to diagnose tactical issues, understand user behavior patterns, and identify opportunities for optimization at a granular level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) are metrics specifically chosen to measure progress toward strategic business goals (e.g., customer acquisition cost, conversion rate, retention rate).
