Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: identifying, by a computing device, a plurality of navigation options associated with a webpage; determining, by the computing device, for a user accessing the webpage, visitor navigation patterns associated with the plurality of navigation options, based on a statistical analysis of the plurality of navigation options associated with previous visitors of the webpage that have commonality with the user, the visitor navigation patterns including information associated with navigation options that were abandoned by the previous visitors; identifying a user interest based on a comparison of a geographic location of the user to content of the webpage; filtering the visitor navigation patterns based on the user interest by identifying a relative frequency associated with the plurality of navigation options, indicating the relative frequency with which the previous visitors selected a navigation option of the plurality of navigation options in a current visit to the webpage from a state associated with the previous visitors, determining a navigation order in which the user will navigate to each of the plurality of navigation options in a current visit of the webpage, based on a current state of the user and the relative frequency identified for previous visitors, wherein the current state of the user indicates whether the user has navigated to each of the plurality of navigation options prior to the current visit; and providing the user, by the computing device, a visual indicator of the identified navigation order, the visual indicator overlaid onto the webpage and differentiating between the user being a first time visitor and a returning visitor of the webpage.
