I recently read that a staggering 96% of customers won't report an error they encounter on your site; they'll just quietly bounce. This is a massive blind spot for us, especially when dealing with complex features like product customizers where a unique combination of choices could surface a bug. If a customer hits a glitch while trying to personalize an apparel item, they're likely gone for good.

What tools or strategies are you actively using to proactively identify these "silent killer" bugs, particularly within your customization flows? Are you leveraging session recordings, user testing, or other methods to catch issues before they impact your conversion rates?
