Travelers’ overall e-commerce UX performance is mediocre. On a positive note, Travelers has good Product Page Layout & Descriptions and Mobile Site-Wide Design & Interaction. This is, however, curtailed by poor Mobile Product Page Layout & Descriptions and mediocre Mobile Application Form performances.
