- Bounce rate over 70% on landing pages
- Average session duration under 30 seconds
- Pages per session is close to 1.0
- Traffic grows but sales stay flat
- Google Analytics shows high exit rates on key pages
Why This Happens
Slow Page Load
Users expect pages to load in under 3 seconds. Each additional second increases bounce rate by 32%.
Content Does Not Match Intent
If someone searches "how to choose a yoga mat" and lands on a product page, they will leave immediately.
Poor Mobile Experience
Over 60% of ecommerce traffic is mobile. Tiny buttons, slow loading, and hard-to-read text drive users away.
Intrusive Popups
Immediate email popups, chat widgets, and notifications frustrate users before they see your content.
Confusing Navigation
If visitors cannot quickly find what they need, they leave. Complex menus and poor search functionality hurt.
How to Fix It
Improve Page Speed
MediumUse PageSpeed Insights to identify issues. Compress images, remove unused apps, and optimize your theme.
Match Content to Intent
MediumEnsure landing pages answer the query that brought visitors. Informational queries need helpful content, not product pitches.
Optimize for Mobile
EasyTest your site on multiple devices. Ensure buttons are tap-friendly, text is readable, and checkout works smoothly.
Delay or Remove Popups
EasyWait at least 30 seconds before showing email popups. Better yet, use exit-intent instead.
Simplify Navigation
EasyClear categories, working search, and logical menu structure help visitors find what they need.
