What product-card CTR tells you
Product CTR belongs to the Read step because it helps you inspect whether attention became product-link interest.
It is different from Product CTOR / Click-to-Order Rate. Product CTR looks at Product Clicks compared with Product Impressions or exposure depending on the report. Product CTOR looks at orders compared with Product Clicks.
Why product-card CTR can be low
Low Product CTR usually means viewers did not get a clear reason to open the product link or product card. The product may appear too late, the proof may be unclear, the link timing may be off, or the CTA may not say what clicking helps inspect.
For a beginner test, fix one thing at a time: product visibility, proof timing, product link / product-card timing, or CTA clarity.
