Bounce rate went up after installing Cloudflare

[COBNETCKNN]

Hello there blackhatworld... So since bunnyCDN was giving me problems I decided to switch to cloudflare and after setting everything up on google analytics my bounce rate skyrocketed.... could it be because cloudflareCDN or is it google analytics which is giving false informations?

It's quite rare, i have heard of Bounce rates went down after Cloudflare install, never about went up.

are you sure theyre not presented with cloudflare captcha challenge or have blocked access completely basing on IP quality?

check if on attack mode is on i assume your site is a blog?

just checked and there is no captcha challange or any sort of security checks running, also attack mode is off... but this just doesn't seem right... anyways, anyone knows good free CDN service, tried bunnyCDN, but had to quit them since images on my site started disappearing because of their plugin...

After you implement a new cdn, your site will load slower and there may be more load on your sever until everything caches. This might explain an increased bounce rate. But after that it should be smooth sailing.

i have like 10 visitors daily in cloudflare but google analytics shows only 2 visitors per day i wonder whats up


edit cloudflare shows 65 unique visits in last 24h but google analytics only 2-4 . i wonder whats up, whether all of that are useless bots and not real visits or wat...
