what metric do you usually see to know if your website is doing well?

I've been using my website for a while, although not too long, and I understand that SEO takes a long time to make a noticeable difference, but I'm hopeful. I would like to know what the most fundamental metrics are to get an idea of whether I'm on the right track or what I need to improve.
If you have your consolidated website, your opinion or if you know about the subject would be very useful.
Another point that I would like to know is what is the most effective way to obtain backlinks? If you have any advice leave it in the comments!!
Thanks!

What feature did users completely ignore that you thought would be a hit?

While building products, I've noticed something surprising.

The features I spent the most time building were often the ones users barely touched.

Meanwhile, a few "small" features I almost skipped ended up becoming the reason people kept using the product.

Agent Workflow Roll back

Hi Buddies,

I am trying to create a framework that can rollback Agent workflow when it is getting diverted from the actual workflow.
So, this framework detects any deviations and immediately it will rollback the changes done in last iteration.

The browser Back button trap in multi step forms how do you fix it?

I recently ran into a really annoying bug where a user completed a setup flow landed on the final success screen and then instinctually hit the browser's Back button only to get shoved right back into the middle of the onboarding steps. Turns out using standard client navigation piles up every single step in the history stack.

Swapping those out for a history overwrite (replace) on the final redirect fixed the loop instantly but it makes me wonder if a user actually wants to recheck their previous answers blocking the Back button might feel a bit trapped.

How do you guys handle navigation history in long forms without breaking the user's expected flow?

📈 How many GTM channels can a small team test at once?

We have tried outbound, LinkedIn, content and partnerships.

The problem is that every channel needs enough time and focus before you can tell whether it works. When we spread ourselves across all of them, we end up with activity everywhere and a clear answer nowhere.

How do you stop your team from obsessing over weekly signup charts?

It's so easy to get high on the dopamine of seeing signup numbers tick up every Monday morning, even when most of those users never log back in after day three. We hit a wall when we realized our massive growth spike was just filling a bucket with a hole in the bottom. Getting the team to stop caring about vanity metrics and actually fix the onboarding friction took a real mindset shift. If you've been through this, what metrics finally forced your team to wake up and focus on actual usage instead of just new signups?

How do you stop your README from turning into a pile of outdated lies?

With how fast code changes now especially with speedier refactoring tools our setup guides get outdated almost the next day.

A new teammate steps in follows the docs and immediately hits errors because the code moved on while the README stayed frozen. Making people update docs during PRs sounds nice in theory but it usually gets ignored when everyone is moving fast. How does your team force or encourage docs to stay accurate without slowing down shipping speed?

Do you actually trust automatic chat history or do you keep your own notes?

I had a point where automated memory started dragging old context or weird habits from past sessions into brand new chats and half my time went into correcting it. Turning off automatic memory and just keeping a simple local file for important project notes felt like a huge relief. It s way easier to clean up a text file than trying to untangle what an algorithm remembered for you.

How do you manage your project notes across different sessions do you let the tool remember everything or do you keep a manual log?

At one point, a single outbound campaign meant paying for five different tools:

How do you fix product positioning when users love your tool for the "wrong" reason?

We designed our product to solve a specific enterprise problem, but our early adopters ended up using it for a completely different lightweight use case. While it brought in users our revenue model and positioning didn't align with how they were actually using it.

Pivoting your messaging to match user behavior can be tricky when it changes your entire ideal customer profile.

For founders who have faced a mismatch in product vision versus user reality: did you double down on the unexpected use case or re position to target your original vision?
