Do users actually click CTA… or just find their own path?

While working on AllInOneTools , I noticed something interesting. As builders, we design CTAs like: • “Start Now” • “Try Tool” • “Get Started” We expect users to follow that path. But real users don’t always behave like that. Sometimes they: • ignore the CTA • scroll down • go directly to categories • click the first tool they see It made me question something: 👉 Do users really follow CTAs… or do they just find their own way? From what I’ve seen: New users → follow visual cues (categories, popular tools) Returning users → skip everything and go straight to what they need So maybe CTA is not always the main driver. Maybe it’s just one of many entry points. Now I’m curious 👇 When you visit a website, what do you do? • Click the main CTA • Scroll and explore • Jump directly to what you need • Ignore everything and search Would love to hear real behavior.
