Too much information

What is it?

Overwhelming users with too much information at once can lead to cognitive overload, reduced decision quality, frustration, and a negative user experience. Effective information design and user experience strategies focus on presenting information in a clear, concise, and user-friendly manner. They prioritize content based on user needs and tasks to avoid these issues.
