+
+**First Click Testing** is a usability method used to evaluate the effectiveness of an interface's information hierarchy and design clarity. The test measures _where users click first_ when asked to complete a task — and whether that first click puts them on the correct path.
+
+It is based on a simple but powerful insight:
+
+> If a user's first click is correct, they are more likely to complete the task successfully.
+
+Analyzing these initial interactions allows teams to spot usability issues early and validate navigation patterns, content labels, or layout choices.
+
+## What It Measures
+
+First Click Testing is focused on _user decision-making at the very start of a task_. It helps identify whether users understand what to do next, and whether your interface intuitively supports their goals.
+
+Key metrics include:
+
+- _Click accuracy_ – Did users click the correct item or path first?
+- _Time to first click_ – How long did it take them to decide?
+- _User confidence_ – How confident were they in their choice?
+- _Completion rate_ – Did they finish the task successfully after the first click?
