HelloFresh are one of the most popular meal-kit providers in the world, serving more than 7 million customers every month.
Their checkout is clearly designed for impulsive decision-making, frequently adopting dark patterns and nudging potential customers towards commitment.
And yet, they're leaving so much on the table.
Not only do the vast majority of people cancel their subscription within a few months, but their pre-sale funnel is likely to be leaking heavily.
This case study from Peter Ramsey looks at how HelloFresh could save more of their customers.

WordPress 6.4 was released this week on November 7th.
The most interesting additions include Block Hooks, improved pattern organization, a redesigned and enhanced Command palette, changes to attachment pages, a lightbox effect on images, and several improvements to the writing workflow.
Improved template loading, refined script loading strategies, and other performance enhancements will make your WordPress website run faster, while List View enhancements and several upgrades to the admin user interface will make it more usable and accessible.
A notable speed enhancement includes usage of the script loading strategies “defer” and “async” in core, blocks, and themes.
Contributors have also had to work quickly over the 24 hours since release to prepare a 6.4.1 maintenance release after a critical bug emerged from a change in the Requests library, causing problems with updates on servers running older versions of cURL.
