Bounce Rate

By: Reflektion • December 2, 2019

Bounce rate refers to the percentage of visitors to a particular website who navigate away from the site after viewing only one page. A true bounce is when people arrive on a site and leave — usually within seconds — which often is an indication they felt they were in the wrong place to begin with. When visitors leave after viewing only a single page, Google takes note and demotes the ranking of the site.

In eCommerce terms, a bounce means someone left after visiting the first page they’ve viewed on the site. When an eCommerce site has a high bounce rate they are not effectively converting site visitors to buying customers.

Most eCommerce websites have bounce rates somewhere between 26% and 70%. As a rule of thumb, a bounce rate in the range of 26% to 40% is great, 41% to 55% is acceptable, and 56% to 70% is higher than average.
