How do I measure the success of my CRO efforts over time?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm struggling to understand how to effectively measure and track the success of my conversion rate optimization (CRO) efforts. I know implementing changes is important, but I need a systematic way to evaluate whether my strategies are actually improving performance. I want to move beyond just looking at conversion rates and develop a comprehensive approach that helps me understand the impact of my optimization initiatives across different dimensions of my online store's performance.
