Difference Between Bounce Rate & Exit Rate?
 

Hello folks,

I am confuse between bounce rate & exit rate.
Can anyone please explain here about different between bounce rate & exit rate in simple words?

In simple words.

Bounce Rate is the percentage of visitors that visit a page on your website and don’t visit any other pages. For example someone may come in to a page via a search engine and then go to another site without visiting any of your other pages.

The Exit Rate on the other hand is the percentage of people who have left the page but would have previously visited other pages. The figure is worked out by the percentage of visitors that leave your website from a page based on the number of visits to that page.

To understand the difference between Exit Rate and Bounce Rate for a particular page, keep the following points in mind:

1. For all pageviews to the page, Exit Rate is the percentage that were the last in the session.
2. For all sessions that start with the page, Bounce Rate is the percentage that were the only one of the session.
3. Bounce Rate for a page is based only on sessions that start with that page.

Bounce Rate is the percentage of users that visit a page on your site and don’t visit some other pages. For example somebody may come into a page via a search engine and after that go to another site without going to any of your other pages.

Exit Rate on the other hand is the percentage of users who have left the page however would have gone to different pages. The figure is worked out by the percentage of users that leave your site from a page based on the number of visits to that page.

Exit rate is the percentage of visitors that leave your site from a given page based on the number of visits to that page.

Bounce rate is the percentage of people who landed on a page and immediately left. Bounces are always one page sessions.High bounce rates are often bad.

Exit rate is the percentage of people who left your site from that page. Exits may have viewed more than one page in a session. That means they may not have landed on that page, but simply found their way to it through site navigation.

For all pageviews to the page, Exit Rate is the percentage that were the last in the session. For all sessions that start with the page, Bounce Rate is the percentage that were the only one of the session. Bounce Rate for a page is based only on sessions that start with that page.
