Field Analysis for a Contact Form 7 form: field drop-off funnel from your-name to submitted, and field-level metrics
Forms → Field Analysis → select a form.

Choose a form in Select Form. The funnel lists fields in order with the sessions that reached each one; the last bar is Submitted. A red number after a field is the drop at that field.

Reading the example #

In a Contact Form 7 form with name, email, subject and message, two sessions reached every field but only some submitted: “2 sessions −1” after the first field means one visitor stopped there. With a few visits, wait before concluding; with hundreds, the first red number is your priority.

Expected result #

You know the one field to change first.

FAQ #

Why do hidden or technical fields appear? #

Some plugins add hidden or honeypot fields; ignore them.

Can I test the change? #

Yes, with an A/B test using form submission as the goal.
