1. What is Bounce Rate?

Bounce Rate represents the percentage of visitors who enter a website and then leave ("bounce") rather than continuing to view other pages within the same site. It's a key metric in web analytics, particularly in the UK market.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Bounce Rate formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Bounces} \) — Number of single-page sessions
• \( \text{Entries} \) — Total number of sessions

Explanation: The equation calculates what percentage of all visits were bounces (visits where the user left without any interaction).

3. Importance of Bounce Rate

Details: Bounce rate helps evaluate website quality and content relevance. A high bounce rate typically indicates that site entrance pages aren't relevant to visitors.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of bounces (single-page visits) and total entries (all visits). Both values must be positive numbers, and bounces cannot exceed entries.
