What is the difference between bounce rate and exit rate?

[Intuz]

Exit rate is the percentage of visitors who leave a website from a particular page after visiting at least one other page in the site.


Bounce rate is percentage of visitors who leave a website from the entrance page. That means they only visit one page and do not navigate further.

Bounce Rate: the percentage of visitors to a particular site who navigate away from the site after viewing only one page.

Exit Rate: For all page views 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.

A high bounce rate on a home page is usually a sign that something is wrong. But again, ensure you have a close look at the sources and keywords that are driving traffic. You might have a very low bounce rate for few keywords and very high for others. Maybe you’re getting a lot of StumbleUpon traffic which, by its very nature, has a high bounce rate.


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.

Bounce Rate is the percentage of single-page sessions (i.e. sessions in which the person left your site from the entrance page without interacting with the page).
Exit rate as a term used in web site traffic analysis (sometimes confused with bounce rate) is the percentage of visitors to a site who actively click away to a different site from a specific page, after possibly having visited any other pages on the site. The visitors just exited on that specific page.

Bounce Rate is the percentage of people who landed on your site and left immediately. The sessions for these visitors would be one page sessions.

Exit rate is however assigned to each page on the amount of people who leave your website through that particular page
