    Remove Google Analytic and install PIWIK and let me know if you notice any difference.

    Interested in Piwik. It seems like it is almost the same with GA?
    Does it give the percentage of new users too? Source/Medium??

    Piwik is the best alternative to Google Analytics. Personally, i would never recommend anyone to use Google Analytic because data such as Bounce Rates and other issues can actually impact your rankings on Google. You need to understand that Google Analytic collects lot of data which you cannot even imagine. This data is further used in deciding your rankings by Google.

    Lately, bots are becoming much smarter and they have been increasingly active (my personal experience). They do a great job and are increasing bounce rate specially for sites with low traffic.

    You can either not worry about this issue, or if your traffic is at a point that precise analysis of your site analytic is needed, then you can filter them out. In your analytic, go to admin -> all filters -> new filter. Now give your filter a name (preferably same name as the URL you are trying to block just so you don't get lost), then choose custom -> select file and scroll down to referral, in the filter pattern text box enter the referral URL you need to block, then at the bottom locate apply filter to views select and add all website data now click save. repeat the process for all the bot referrals.

    I did not say that it is a replacement it is a good alternative though, if you know what that means.

    @Patricia Ann Lee thank you for the source (piwik), it looks great. It is also open source which make it a must try.

    I think you need to check your website again in the all devices because some time developer use plugins for responsive website that is problem. Please check code and theme from there your website if responsive then you need to check GA. I hope after that your bounce rate will reduce.
