Got a 45% bounce rate on a simple 1 page site. What does this mean and is this good/bad? Never really checked a stat like this

I read an article once, and it had different average bounce rates for different types of sites.

50% is average. I have 23% on my best site. The others are between mid 40's and high 50's.

50 is actually pretty good considering it's a one page site and they can't click to any other links to extend their time on site

Perhaps counterintuitively, 50% is the average, so you're fine.

If your entire site has exactly one page your bounce rate should be very close to 100% ( any drop from 100% would mean your visitors refresh the page).


bounce rate
noun

• the percentage of visitors to a particular website who navigate away from the site after viewing only one page.

Bounce rate represent the Quality Traffic -- Less than 25% bounce rate would very good, I guess. Mine site has less than 10% though.
