The time users spend on completing a task is a measure of efficiency. In general, the shorter the duration, the better the user experience. More time might mean users are having a hard time finding what they need on a page, are lost in the flow, or don’t understand how to use the product. Yet, there are exceptions. If the task is meant to keep users engaged, a longer time on task could be good. 3, record 1, English, - time%20on%20task
