Formula
(Opt-Ins / Number of visitors or impressions) * 100

Possible causes of worsening
Poorly Designed Opt-in Forms
Complicated or unappealing opt-in forms may discourage visitors from subscribing, resulting in a decrease in the opt-in rate.
Lack of Incentives
Not providing compelling incentives for visitors to opt in can reduce the overall opt-in rate as people may not see the value in subscribing.
