Formula
Low engagement sessions / Sessions
Calculation example
Suppose E-commerce Store H had a total of 10,000 sessions during a specific period. Out of these, 2,000 sessions resulted in users visiting only one page and then leaving without further engagement.
Bounce Rate = (Number of Single-Page Sessions / Total Sessions) × 100
Bounce Rate = (2, 000 / 10,000) × 100
Bounce Rate = 20%
Bounce Rate = (Number of Single-Page Sessions / Total Sessions) × 100
Bounce Rate = (2, 000 / 10,000) × 100
Bounce Rate = 20%
