French term

descente produit

French to English Marketing IT (Information Technology) web analytics
The phrase is: analyser une descente produit

No further context I'm afraid. As far as I can gather, this is related to web analytics.

See below for a FR definition:

I can't think of an equivalent English term. Not 'product listing' I don't think. Perhaps "product search"?

Thanks you very much in advance for any help you can give.

@philgoddard Hi,

I first thought that might be a possibility, but the description in the definition link provided by the asker makes clear it's more of a process than a page, e.g.:

"La descente produits peut se faire par utilisation des onglets et autres menus d’arborescence ou par l’utilisation du moteur de recherche interne."
philgoddard Jun 8, 2016:
Sounds like Landing, as in landing page.
Dr Andrew Read Jun 7, 2016:
@bohy I also thought of 'product drill-down' but this seems to be a SAP-specific term. It could also work, however.

Product drill-down ? Mais je n'en suis pas sûre.

product navigation

From the description in French and from thinking about this carefully and looking at a few e-commerce 'advice sites', I think this comes a little closer to what's described. There may be an even more specific term, but I can't find it (in my head or online) at the moment.

This would fit the description "La descente produits désigne l’action qui consiste pour le visiteur d’un site marchand à accéder au produit ou type de produit recherché à partir de la page d’accueil d’un site web."

And "product navigation route" would also work for "parcours de descente produits" also from the French description.

The links don't use the term "product navigation" directly but provide useful background reading.

product view / view product

From the reference in FR, this action signfies getting to view the product via clicking on the image or listing, or using a menu via a tab. I would lean towards the "product view" substantive usage, but you may need to add a verb in some contexts such as "go to" or "access" (product access / access product)
