CTOR means click-to-order rate. It compares orders with product clicks and helps show whether product interest turned into purchase action.

What CTOR helps you inspect

CTOR looks at what happened after the product click. If clicks happen but orders do not, the issue may be product fit, expectation setting, offer clarity, or whether the product page matches what the video prepared the viewer to see.
