Guides and playbooks on the things that quietly cost websites money: errors nobody reports, funnels that leak, forms that fail in silence. Written for owners, useful to agents.

## Playbooks: askbowtie in action

- [I Audited My Own Content With askbowtie](/learn/playbooks/content-audit/)I asked askbowtie one thing: is my content any good? It pulled 90 days of Search Console and analytics on its own, then graded all 27 pages. The answer was blunt: 1 click, 13 impressions.
- [My AI Forgets Between Sessions. Notes Fix That.](/learn/playbooks/notes/)I run a dozen sites, most of them through an agent that forgets everything when the chat window closes. askbowtie notes are the memory: every project logs its own, and one project's fix is right there when I build the same thing on another.
- [How I Find a Dead Form With askbowtie](/learn/playbooks/silent-failure/)A walkthrough of my exact playbook: join rage clicks to conversion drops, pinpoint the failing element by CSS selector, and date it to the deploy that broke it. Five tool calls, no guessing.
- [When Signups Drop, I Ask One Question](/learn/playbooks/why-signups-dropped/)A worked diagnosis on our demo dataset: an AI agent joins traffic, conversions, errors, and Search Console to explain a signup drop in minutes. Exact prompt, every number cited. No tab-switching.

## Analytics

- [Section Engagement Analytics: See What Parts of a Page Convert](/learn/new-analytics/)Pageviews can't tell you which part of a page visitors use. Tag your sections and page roles with two HTML attributes, then measure which sections get clicks and which drive conversions.

## Error monitoring

- [Website Error Monitoring Guide](/learn/error-monitoring/)Catch JavaScript errors, broken elements, and silent failures before they cost you conversions. A practical guide to error monitoring that connects bugs to revenue.
- [Silent Failures: When Users Are Stuck and Your Error Tracker Sees Nothing](/learn/error-monitoring/user-behavior/)Uptime says 200. The error tracker is quiet. And users are hammering a button that does nothing. How askbowtie detects dead buttons, rage clicks, and form submits that never complete: the failures that produce zero errors.
- [Prioritizing Errors by Revenue Impact](/learn/error-monitoring/prioritizing-errors/)Sorting errors by frequency is wrong. Use this framework to decide which JavaScript errors to fix first based on actual business impact, not volume.

## Conversions

- [Conversion Funnels: Find Where Sessions End and Why](/learn/conversions/)Your funnel's leak is already in your data. Sort pages by exit rate to find where sessions end, join errors and performance to learn why, and credit conversions back to the landing page that earned them.

## Performance

- [Website Performance & Uptime Monitoring](/learn/performance/)Monitor site speed, Core Web Vitals, and uptime in one place. Know when your site is slow or down before your visitors do — and fix it fast.

## Fixes

- [Website Fixes: Step-by-Step Troubleshooting](/learn/fixes/)Fix broken forms, checkout failures, plugin conflicts, and slow pages. Platform-specific solutions for WordPress, Shopify, and general web issues.
- [Your Form Is Silently Failing and You Don't Know](/learn/fixes/form-failures/)A form can show a success message while losing every submission. How to detect silent form failures from error and conversion signals, trace where the submission dies, and fix it.
- [Shopify Checkout Problems: Detect the Drop-Off Shopify Won't Show You](/learn/fixes/shopify-issues/)Shopify checkout runs on Shopify's servers, so you can't see where buyers leave. How to detect checkout leaks with exit rates and conversion data, then diagnose the cause.

## The tracker

- [How askbowtie Works](/learn/tracker/how-it-works/)What the tracker script does, what data it collects, what it doesn't, and how it keeps your site fast and your visitors' data private.
- [Install the askbowtie tracker](/docs/install/)Add askbowtie to any site with one line of code. Copy-paste steps for plain HTML, WordPress, Shopify, Google Tag Manager, and Cloudflare. 9.8 KB loader, cookieless, no PII.
- [JavaScript API](/learn/tracker/javascript-api/)Report conversions, errors, and custom events directly from your code using the askbowtie JavaScript API.
- [Cookieless Tracking](/learn/tracker/cookieless-tracking/)How askbowtie tracks sessions without cookies — and how to keep it that way when adding server-side conversions, payment webhooks, or custom integrations.
- [Security & Data](/learn/tracker/security-and-csp/)How askbowtie handles your data — what's public, what's authenticated, how sites are isolated, and the CSP directives to allow the tracker.
