Hello i'm using on my website outbrain( is a plugin like linkwithin nerelated etc) and a lot of people use it surfing my website alot! But my bounce rate is still very high and around 90%. Then i noticed that those kind of plugins don't keep people on wbesite, but make it run out and than redirect them to my website. So i'm asking 1 simple question, these plugins really increase bounce rate? Because in my opinion when you get redirected out to outbrain webesite is a bounce. I'm wrong? Thank you all Rob
I am not so sure about the relation between the plugin and the bounce rate. Bounce rate depends on the quality of your content and how interesting they are. So, check on that section for it.
Yes, but the point, is that if a person stay on your website more, your bouncerate get lower. So those plugins should act in that way( the more they surf, thhe less they leave), but i noticed they do a redirect to the main site, to come back to your site
Sorry for delay, the plugin i'm talking about is this outbrain.com edit: I noticed that those plugins, like linkwithin outbrain etc,all do a redirect 301, so i think this should be a bounce. But i'm not sure at 100%
Some plugins (the ones that really slow down your site) can cause hikes in bouncing, because visitors get bored waiting for the page to load, and click the 'back' button. They can also get you in trouble with your host, because they slow down a shared server. Remember to check regularly that your sites are loading in acceptable times, and if they aren't find out why.
