Bounce Rate
Definition
Bounce rate measures how many users land on a webpage and exit without taking further action. It is the percentage of visitors who leave a site after viewing only one page. A high bounce rate can signal issues like poor page load speed, irrelevant content, or weak calls to action. For example, if 70% of visitors leave after seeing the homepage, it may indicate misaligned messaging. Tracking bounce rate helps identify where user expectations aren't being met.
