Fitts' law states that the amount of time required for a person to move a pointer (e.g., mouse cursor) to a target area is a function of the distance to the target divided by the size of the target. Thus, the longer the distance and the smaller the target's size, the longer it takes.

Optimize E-commerce Menus
Apply Fitts' Law by adopting an automatic drop-down menu that appears when a customer hovers over a content category. Avoid placing too many items in one list so users don't have to move the cursor far to select an item.
What does Fitt's law predict?
Fitts's law (often cited as Fitts' law) is a predictive model of human movement primarily used in human–computer interaction and ergonomics. The law predicts that the time required to rapidly move to a target area is a function of the ratio between the distance to the target and the width of the target.
What is the importance of Fitts law?
Fitts's Law provides a model of human movement, established in 1954 by Paul Fitts, which can accurately predict the amount of time taken to move to and select a target.
