Tips to reduce your website's bounce rate

Post by nurnobi24 »

Bounce rate is the percentage of users who arrive at your website and leave without continuing to browse your site or moving on to a second page. A higher bounce rate indicates that your ability to retain a user is low.

This data will help you get an idea of ​​what constitutes a good or bad bounce rate:

80% + is very bad

70 – 80% is deficient

50 – 70% is average

30 – 50% is excellent

20% or less is likely a tracking error (due to duplicate parsing code chinese overseas asia database or incorrect implementation of event tracking)

Tips to improve bounce rate

Readability
One of the biggest reasons why users abandon a website is because of readability, it is important that you check this feature, use fonts that are easy to read and pleasing to the eye. Otherwise you will be losing sales opportunities.

User experience
It is necessary to improve the user experience by creating a site that looks good on all mobile devices and taking care not to overload it with distracting elements.

Improve the speed of your website
Loading speed is one of the most important aspects. Most users, when they see that a page takes too long to load, abandon it after 3 seconds and never return to your site. You can use measurement tools such as Google Page Speed ​​to check this.

Content
This is another important point to consider. If you have unclear, poorly written content that provides little or no value, you can be sure that you will have a high bounce rate. You can improve this by modifying each of the contents of your website and blog.

External links
Set external links to open in a new window. If you let links open in the same tab, you'll be sending traffic and users to another website. This can also be annoying if users want to return to your website.

6. Outdated content

It's important to keep your content fresh and up-to-date. Remember to also review old, high-traffic posts and update them to keep your bounce rate low.

7. 404 error page

Google explicitly states that the 404 error page should be useful in helping people find what they were looking for, which is why it makes this an important point.

8. Fix broken links

Many broken links cause a bad user experience, increasing the bounce rate. Detect all broken links with the Google Search Console tool and fix them, you will quickly notice a reduction in your website's bounce rate.
