What Is Bounce Rate?

Bounce Rate is defined as the percentage of visitors that leave a webpage without taking an action, such as clicking on a link, filling out a form, or making a purchase.

Bounce Rate is important for three main reasons:

Someone that bounces from your site (obviously) didn’t convert. So when you stop a visitor from bouncing, you can also increase your conversion rate.

Bounce Rate may be used as a Google Ranking factor. In fact, one industry study found that Bounce Rate was closely correlated to first page Google rankings.

Bounce Rate is the percentage of people that land on a page and leave.

Exit Rate is the percentage of people that leave a specific page (even if they didn’t initially land on that page).

For example, let’s say someone lands on Page A from your site. And they hit their browser’s back button a few seconds later.
