The three-click rule or three click rule is an unofficial web design rule concerning the design of website navigation. It suggests that a user of a website should be able to find any information with no more than three mouse clicks. It is based on the belief that users of a site will become frustrated and often leave if they cannot find the information within the three clicks. Although there is little analytical evidence that this is the case, it is a commonly held belief amongst designers that the rule is part of a good system of navigation. Critics of the rule suggest that the number of clicks is not as important as the success of the clicks or information sent.〔(Testing the Three-Click Rule )〕 In an outdated book, ''Taking Your Talent to the Web'' (2001), Jeffrey Zeldman wrote that the Three-Click Rule is "based on the way people use the Web" and "the rule can help you create sites with intuitive, logical hierarchical structures". == Criticism == The three click rule has been challenged by usability test results, which have shown that the number of clicks needed to access the desired information affects neither user satisfaction, nor success rate.〔(Myth #2: All pages should be accessible in 3 clicks )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】CMSWire">url=http://www.cmswire.com/cms/web-engagement/web-optimization-the-myth-of-the-3-click-rule-009018.php )〕 In eCommerce websites, the rule can often be detrimental as in order to adhere to the rule, products on offer to customers must be grouped into categories that are far too large to be easily browsed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Three-click rule」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
