Etymology

CRO in marketing is short for conversion rate optimization, where conversion means 'when a visitor does what you want', rate means 'the number or percentage', and optimization means 'making something better'. So CRO is the practice of testing and improving a website to get more visitors to buy, sign up, or take another desired action.
