Why my bounce rate is so high?

 

Bounce rate is an internet marketing term that is mostly seen in Google Analytic.

This is primarily a percentage that shows you how many clients visited your site and left without clicking on anything.

It is crucial to know why you are having a high bouncing rate.

Always ensure you do not have a poorly designed website because this is the major cause of high bouncing rates.

Your website is not mobile friendly

Can you website be viewed via mobile?

Remember, over 80% of internet users access it through mobile.

If visitors cannot view the information they need via mobile, they will certainly leave your site.

High number of pop up

When visitors keep on getting many pop ups, they get annoyed and leave a website.

If your website has many pop ups, it will chase visitors promptly.

Complex navigation menu

Having an outdated design

A visually attractive website design will always attract visitors.

Many advertisements
