Which products attract traffic but rarely convert to purchases?

I'm seeing significant traffic on certain product pages in my e-commerce store, but these products aren't translating into actual sales. I'm concerned about wasting marketing budget driving visitors to pages that don't convert and want to understand which specific product types or characteristics might be causing this issue. How can I identify these low-converting products and develop strategies to improve their performance or potentially remove them from my catalog?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Identify low-converting products by analyzing product page views, add-to-cart rates, and purchase completion percentages. Focus on items with high traffic but low conversion rates, typically below 1-2%, and investigate underlying reasons like pricing, imagery, description quality, or product-market fit.
