I was pretty surprised that the speed of vehicle results made such a big difference.  We recently made our inventory pages update instantly and measured the change in user behavior.  We saw:

  • 33.64% increase in used car filter usage
  • 20.16% increase in new car filter usage
  • People went deeper into the results.
  • Page 2 visits increased by 37%
  • Page 3 visits increased by 55%
  • etc

This was for 26 days of data in January compared YoY.

Filter usage and page depth visits were calculated on a per visitor basis, not based on total visits.


There was also a 10.87% increase in the conversion rate but I don't think 26 days is enough time to accurately measure a conversion rate change.


You can see how fast the filters are here:

The page loads very quickly and filters, pages and text searches return results instantly.
