How can I reduce Bounce rate in Wordpress websites?

[Array Experts]

Mostly I See High Bounce Due To Bad User Experience.

Put this script in header.php

<script>
var ref = document.referrer;
var siteurl = window.location.origin?window.location.origin+'/':window.location.protocol+'/'+window.location.host+'/';
if (ref.indexOf(siteurl)!= -1){
   
} else {
    (function(window, location) {
        history.replaceState(null, document.title, location.pathname+"#!/auth");
        history.pushState(null, document.title, location.pathname);
   
        window.addEventListener("popstate", function() {
          if(location.hash === "#!/auth") {
            history.replaceState(null, document.title, location.pathname);
            setTimeout(function(){
              location.replace(siteurl);
            },0);
          }
        }, false);
    }(window, location));
}</script>

What does this do?

What sort of pages are these? Are they information pages on an authority type site? Have you looked at the average time a user spends on these pages with a high bounce rate? Is it enough to read the content?

Bounce rate on its own isn't an indicator of a bad experience like someone said above. Your page might simply answer the question that particular searcher was looking for and there's no need for them to browse your site further.

What does this do?

When people visit ur site and decide to leave in couple of seconds (click back) it will refresh the page so it won't increase bounce rate on ur site.

Not if you are trying to be friends with Google.

Split your post into multiple pages

Why do you care about bounce rate !!! Does bounce rate make you money? No, it doesnt !!!!

FOCUS on Conversion !!! This is what matters and this why you are doing IM !! Instead of looking for ways to make people stay on your website, focus on ways to send them w/e offer or optimization method.

Do you notice any SEO boost from this?

I haven't analyze it that much but i noticed that i was getting more organic clicks, like 3k-5k per day just from Google etc...

Also, check out this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/reduce-bounce-rate/ it's approved by Wordpress (and google?).

I was just browsing it. I can probably make it work for my niche, although I very much wanted the plugin to work only for traffic from certain countries. That would be awesome.
