Improving Your Ecommerce Bounce Rates

Bounce rates illustrate the percentage of people who visit a website and leave without clicking through to any other pages. For ecommerce sites, the reasons behind high bounce rates may vary. For example, either the experience wasn't what they expected, they had a hard time navigating, or something else may be preventing them from engaging further with the site.




Understanding bounce rates and what causes them to fluctuate is important when analyzing your site - and finding ways to improve.  Bigcommerce recently published a guide and short video to highlight e-commerce bounce rates.
