I see issues with visual hierarchy a LOT when I do UX audits for eCommerce sites. Product listings that are chaotic, text with different sizes for no apparent reason, inconsistent padding, etc.
If you can't quickly understand the content of a site, it's going to have usability issues—at the very least you're going to be slowed down getting what you want out of it.
It's such a frequent issue and often so easy to fix that I think it's probably the highest leverage thing most designs I review could improve.

One common UX issue I frequently encounter is navigation complexity, where users struggle to find what they're looking for due to overly complicated menus or unclear user pathways. Another significant problem is the lack of feedback on user actions, which can leave users unsure if their actions have been registered or if they need to take further steps.
1. Poor Navigation
2. Cluttered Interfaces
3. Unclear Calls to Action
4. Poor Mobile Optimization
For a better user experience, make sure menus are easy to navigate with clear labels, prioritize content by using whitespace effectively, ensure buttons stand out and use language that prompts action, and don't forget to test your design on different devices to ensure it works well on mobile.
Do you mean as a user, or as someone building UX?

One common UX issue I frequently encounter involves overly complex navigation systems that confuse users rather than guiding them effectively. Another significant problem is the lack of mobile optimization, which can alienate a substantial portion of the audience in today's mobile-first world.
When moodboarding I find stunning websites with really good animations to draw inspiration from, the only problem is that sometimes they really push the animations to the limit and the website performs terribly in loading speeds.
One common UX issue I frequently encounter is the lack of intuitive navigation, which often leads to user frustration and increased bounce rates. Additionally, inconsistent UI elements across different parts of the app can significantly hinder the overall user experience by creating confusion and reducing usability.
