Currently I'm trying to find out how to measure the user experience concerning web applications. I've already collected metrics like response time, device type, connectivity, bounce rate/conversion rate, geographical location of user, etc. that can help me with the calculation.

Now I would like to find out if these metrics correlate with each other (e.g. if user uses handheld-device, is response time less important?). Furthermore, I want to know if it is somehow possible to calculate the user experience with the help of these metrics.

I thought it could be helpful if I start a questionnaire and ask some people if they like a specific website depending on the metrics I mentioned above. But beforehand I want to have a look at some already performed questionnaires in the internet, but what I've found so far are only empty questionnaire templates.

My question: Does anybody of you know some completed questionnaires concerning the user experience of applications? Any data source that helps me to get a better insight in ux would be helpful.

    Have you considered the System Usability Scale (SUS)? measuringusability.com/sus.php

  • I've already had a look at it. It is definitely a good way to collect data. What I need is already collected data from questionnaires, surveys, etc.

    Others have looked for SUS data repositories, to little avail: ux.stackexchange.com/questions/21798/…

    Questionnaires can be valuable but be careful on jumping to conclusions. If you ask your customers if they would mind waiting 2 seconds for a page to load, everyone would reply 'yes', but if you really measured it in the field your conclusions would probably not be the same.

Many of these kinds of metrics are unfortunately subjective. You could create a formula that would work for measuring the user experience but it may only work for you and wouldn't be as objective as you'd like it to be.

I personally use Google's Pagespeed Insights tool. While the formula is based on their ideas of what may be a good speed and good user experience metrics. They provide scores for both Desktop and Mobile. They seem to use the same metrics that you have.
