Bounce rate and its impact on online store promotion
The creation of an online store, its optimization and further promotion are natural stages in the development of an Internet resource. Hundreds of factors influence the effectiveness of the promotion and success of the developed online store, and each of them can both help you achieve success and reduce the effectiveness of the work done. In order not to lose ground, it is necessary to constantly monitor all changes and especially closely monitor the metrics.
There are a huge number of different metrics and all of them are more or less important for promotion. The indicators of some of them can be predetermined even at the stage of development of an online store, some can be measured only after the online store is developed. One way or another, each of them can significantly affect the results of your site, and therefore their tracking is a prerequisite for success on the Internet.
Recently, more and more often on the web you can find discussions of the bounce rate. According to some marketers, this indicator will soon become one of the ranking factors and will directly affect the effectiveness of promotion. Other marketing specialists are confident that the bounce rate will never be able to become one of the ranking factors, due to its inaccuracy and a huge percentage of error. But what does Google say? Is it worth waiting for the bounce rate as one of the ranking factors in the near future, and if so, how strong will its impact on the promotion of the online store be? What is the bounce rate of an online store in general, what is it based on and what does it depend on? And finally, how to fix the situation if the bounce rate is high and why is this happening? You can find out the answers to these and many other questions in that article, let's get started!
The foundation of successful promotion: Is it possible to determine the failure rate of an online store at the stage of its development
Bounce rate is the number of rejections from users who have left your online store's page without making a transition to another page or a target action. This indicator is calculated by the ratio between the total number of users who have visited your site and the number of potential customers who have not visited more than 1 page of your Internet resource. These sessions, where a user visited a page on your site and immediately exited - and are called a rejection.
The bounce rate depends on a variety of external and internal factors. The client may simply be in a bad mood, or at the moment when he visited your site, he was distracted, and he was forced to postpone the search for the necessary product for later.
Despite this, his session will already be included in the calculation of the bounce rate, and therefore it is important that you understand whether the site itself is not to blame for the fact that the user immediately left the Internet resource.
According to statistics, the most popular reasons for the user's refusal are the lack of relevance of the goods offered by the seller and the poor quality of the Internet resource.
In the first case, the reason for the inexpediency of the offer may be that negative words were used to promote the online store. Negative words are keywords that can be called related on their merits. The fact is that such keywords can simultaneously relate to several different niches of goods, and therefore the user, while searching for one product, encounters another. This may be the case if you promote your own brand of hair dye, and use the word paint as the highest frequency key. The user, being in search of paint for walls, stumbles upon your site and realizing that it is not about that paint at all, leaves it, thereby becoming one of the visitors that make up the bounce rate.
The second reason for refusal, on the part of a potential client, is often the poor quality of the Internet resource and the user's unwillingness to put up with it.
After the pandemic rapidly broke into the lives of consumers, the Internet was flooded with a variety of shops and businesses offering their services or goods through websites. This situation caused a rapid increase in competition in all possible niches of online commerce, which is why even the mastodons of individual niches began to have progressive competitors.
Against this background, a huge selection of companies with which they can cooperate has opened up to users, and therefore the criteria of buyers for online stores have noticeably tightened. For example, if earlier the buyer just wanted to find the product he needed, now the page loading speed is important for the buyer, it is important how the product is designed, how convenient it is to order the product – and other aspects of the user experience. Because of this, marketers of even the most popular sites began to search hard for gaps in the user experience provided, since the rate of increase in the bounce rate surprised everyone, including them. But is it possible to predict the failure rate even at the development stage?
In fact, the bounce rate is an indicator that cannot be accurately predicted, but you can avoid increasing it by delving into the process of creating a turnkey online store. The development of an online store is a long and multi-stage process that requires full commitment from developers. Despite this, the professionalism of different companies and web developers may differ markedly from each other, because it is for this reason that there is competition. There is only one problem in this case, if you turned to a novice studio and are not sure of the competence of its team – there is a high risk that in the future, in order to reduce the bounce rate and increase the effectiveness of promotion, you will have to postpone the launch of the store and fork out for specialists who can help you solve errors and problems.
In order to understand whether there are errors on the website of your online store, due to which the bounce rate may grow, and the attendance rate may gradually fall, it is necessary to conduct an audit of the site. With the help of a deep site audit, a specialist will not only be able to tell you where there are problems in your Internet resource and how to influence the effectiveness of promotion, but will also be able to point out obvious user experience problems where they are present.
If you do not want to waste time and money on correcting errors, but want to immediately get a high-quality turnkey online store– the most correct solution would be to contact the leaders in the industry of creating online stores. As a rule, such companies not only boast an impressive portfolio, but also cooperate with large organizations and companies, thereby confirming their competence.

Bounce Rate and Google Analytics
As we said earlier, the bounce rate is one of the frequent topics for discussion among marketers and specialists in the field of promotion. The thing is that at the moment this indicator is not one of the ranking factors. The reason for this is the fact that it is very difficult to track whether it is true that the user left the site page, or whether he simply pinned it in his browser.
From the point of view of Google analytics, any session that did not lead the user to the next page will automatically be considered a failure and will be equal to 0 seconds. Thus, even if your online store has pleased the user, but he is not ready to place an order yet – and has fixed the page of your site in his browser, then from the point of view of the search engine this will be tantamount to refusal.
Experts in the field of promotion and marketing are constantly arguing about whether Google will be able to make the bounce rate one of the metrics for ranking? After all, at the moment refusals do not affect the ranking. In fact, this question is much more complicated than it seems at first glance, and in order to understand what the reason is, it is necessary to recall some varieties of Internet resources. For example, for a landing page, the bounce rate will always be the maximum, since the site itself represents a single page. The same applies to large blogs or news portals, where users get the information they need by searching for a specific news in a search engine, and after getting acquainted with interesting information, they leave the Internet news resource. Thus, it can be concluded that at the moment the bounce rate is not able to worsen the position of your site, or is it able to?
At the moment, it is known for sure that the bounce rate does not take part and does not affect the ranking, but no one can say for sure whether this indicator affects the evaluation of your site from the point of view of the search engine. Google does not apply to all aspects that can affect the evaluation of an Internet resource, and therefore you will be able to find out that the bounce rate can somehow affect the effectiveness of promoting your site only after the announcement of this information by Google itself.
What are the reasons for the increase in the bounce rate
We have already mentioned two reasons why users can leave your online store's website without doing a single action. In addition to the reasons already mentioned, there are several more most frequent ones, and all of them are mainly related to the user experience. For example, users most often leave the site without making a single transition due to:
1. Automatically played audio and video materials
Most often, users refuse to work with a resource when the resource tends to invade their comfort zone. So, for example, the music that plays immediately after the user goes to the site causes him to immediately close this resource, since he cannot be sure that he will play on the site the next moment. Nowadays, this method of attraction has long been behind us, since all experts in the field of user experience agreed that such a technique does not attract, but on the contrary, rejects potential buyers.
2. Animated and pop-up ads
Often on spammed sites you can find ads that try to limit the user's capabilities. So, for example, it happens when you read information, and at some point a pop-up banner appears on half the screen with an offer to subscribe to the newsletter. This fact already irritates a potential client, and if we take into account the fact that some such banners cannot be closed simply by clicking on the "cross" - it becomes clear why there is such a high bounce rate on sites using such banners.
3. Lack of information on the page they visited
By visiting a specific page, the user is looking for either information or a product that interests him. If the page title says that the user will find all the necessary information on it, but at the same time there is no necessary product in the article or catalog of goods, this forces the user to close the site and go in search of the necessary material further, to the competitors of your site.
4. Fine print
The fine print makes the user uncomfortable, and given the rapid growth of competition these days, customer discomfort is a sure way to motivate him to appeal to your competitors. In order to avoid such a situation, before launching an online store, make sure that all fonts and all text on the pages are fully readable, and familiarization with it is not accompanied by any inconveniences.
Among the reasons that lead to the client's refusal to further familiarize himself with your site, we can safely include:
- Download speed
- Lack of a mobile version
- Outdated design
All of these reasons mainly relate to the user experience and usability of the site. But what if your site is already developed, but the bounce rate is constantly growing? Which specialist to contact in order to correct the situation.
Site audit and UX/UI design
Site audit is a process during which a specialist can check your Internet resource for technical errors. Such an audit can help you to optimize the site pages, thereby speeding up their loading. In addition, auditing also borders on UX/UI design, since it can be used to detect both problems in the user experience and problems in the user interface. UX/UI are those aspects of your Internet resource that have the greatest impact on your customer's loyalty to your resource and his desire to place an order with you. If the indicators and quality of UX/UI are low– you will not be able to achieve the desired turnover, as well as to compete with your opponents in the niche. If you want to succeed and sell more of your services and products, contact a specialist in the field of UX/UI design and conduct a deep audit of the site. After correcting the errors, the situation with the bounce rate and incoming traffic should stabilize.
If you are just planning to order the creation of an online store and do not want to waste time on audits and corrections to UX/UI design in the future, contact the specialists of the Gloss website creation studio. Our team includes specialists in all niches, one way or another related to the development of online resources.

How a website audit can transform your business
A website audit is not a simple check, it is a necessity that allows you to deeply understand both the technical and marketing aspects of your site. Is your website optimized for search engines? Does it communicate effectively with your potential customers? The answers to these questions can radically change your approaches and strategies. Ordering a website analysis can reveal hidden issues that are holding back your site's lead generation and customer acquisition potential. Whether you're looking to improve your site's search engine rankings or increase user satisfaction, an audit can provide you with the tools and guidance you need.
We will look at how a carefully prepared audit can significantly improve your website and make it more competitive. We will discuss what aspects of a website are checked during an audit, what benefits it can bring to your business, and how you can order a website audit from professionals to ensure the best results.
Why does your business need a website audit?
Excellent website usability is not just a nice bonus, but a critical condition for ensuring online success. A website audit allows you to analyze in detail how conveniently and efficiently users interact with your site, and how this affects your business's ability to achieve its goals. Here are some reasons why it is important:
- Increase user satisfaction: An audit reveals navigation and interface issues that may prevent users from easily and intuitively finding the information they need or performing the actions they want on your site. Improving these aspects can significantly increase your visitors' satisfaction.
- Reduce bounce rate: When users find it difficult to navigate the site or perform the necessary actions, they are more likely to leave the site without converting. An audit helps to identify and fix design elements that can lead to a high bounce rate.
- Increase conversions: Website optimization can have a direct impact on your conversions. For example, simplifying the checkout process or improving the visibility of a call-to-action button can significantly increase the number of successful transactions.
- Search engine optimization: SEO audit and optimization is part of the overall website audit and focuses on aspects that affect your website's visibility in search engines. Analyzing keywords, meta tags, URL structure, and other SEO practices will help to push your website higher in search results.
- Improving accessibility: The audit also assesses how accessible your site is to people with disabilities. Ensuring accessibility not only expands your target audience, but also emphasizes your responsibility as a business.
- Optimization for mobile devices: Nowadays, it's important that your website is optimized for mobile users. An audit will help ensure that your website works efficiently on all types of devices, improving the overall user experience.
Ensuring a high quality website is an investment in customer satisfaction and the efficiency of your online space. Ordering a professional audit can help you identify critical issues and resolve them before they negatively affect your business.

What are the advantages of websites over mobile apps?
Different companies are faced with the choice between developing mobile apps and websites every day. While mobile apps may seem convenient and innovative, it's important not to ignore the numerous advantages of websites. Ordering a website is not just an investment in an online presence, but a strategic decision that can significantly reduce development and maintenance costs, provide a wider audience reach, and improve search engine rankings.
We'll take a closer look at why websites compare favorably to mobile apps, analyzing their functionality, accessibility, and maintenance costs. The importance of websites in today's digitalized landscape cannot be underestimated, as they play a key role in attracting customers, expanding the market, and optimizing the user experience.
What is a website and a mobile application?
Websites and mobile apps play vital roles in promoting a business, but they have significant differences. A mobile app is a program downloaded and installed on a mobile device that can use the phone's system capabilities, such as a camera, GPS, or gyroscope. They can offer a more personalized experience, but they require significant investment to develop and maintain.
Therefore, choosing between website development and in-house development usually turns out to be a more profitable and effective solution.
Main advantages of websites
Websites offer a number of benefits that make them an attractive choice for businesses of all sizes. Let's take a look at a few of the key benefits you should consider when considering a website for your business.
- Universal access: One of the main advantages of websites is their accessibility. Visitors can access your site from any device that has an Internet connection, regardless of the operating system. This provides a wide audience reach and the ability to attract more potential customers.
- Cost-effectiveness: Ordering a website is often much cheaper than developing a mobile app. The cost of developing and maintaining a website is lower because you don't need to create separate versions for different platforms, such as iOS and Android. In addition, updates and changes to the site can be implemented faster and easier, which reduces overall maintenance costs.
- SEO and marketing benefits: Websites provide better opportunities for search engine optimization (SEO). This means that your website can rank higher in search engines, increasing the chances of being discovered by potential customers. Optimizing your website for search engines helps to increase its visibility and attract more organic traffic.
- Improving the user experience: Websites can offer a rich and user-friendly user interface that is adapted for different devices, including mobile phones, tablets, and desktops. With a responsive design, users can easily navigate the site, which improves the overall user experience and can increase conversion rates.
With these benefits in mind, building a website is a rational choice for businesses looking to maximize the benefits of their online presence. Not only do websites save money and resources, but they also provide ample opportunities to scale and grow your business.
Why do users abandon mobile apps?
Despite the significant development of mobile technology and the increase in the number of available apps, many users still prefer websites. This is due to a number of reasons that point to certain disadvantages of mobile apps and limitations that can affect the user experience.
Most users do not see the need to install mobile applications when they can easily access the same services or information through a website on their laptop or smartphone via a browser. This is especially true for those services that users use infrequently or sporadically.
Additionally, users emphasize that mobile apps often take up too much space on their devices, which can be critical for those with limited storage space. There are also concerns about battery and mobile data consumption, especially when apps are running in the background or transferring large amounts of data.
Privacy and security issues
One of the biggest concerns that pushes users away from mobile apps is the issue of privacy and security. Many apps require extensive permissions to access personal information such as contacts, location, social media data, and even personal files, which raises concerns among users about how this data is collected, stored, and used. There is also a fear that mobile apps may be vulnerable to hacking, especially those that store sensitive financial data or personal information. Data breaches at large companies that have made headlines only reinforce these concerns.
These factors contribute to the fact that many users prefer to use websites that do not require a download and provide quick access to services without the need to install resource-consuming applications. This confirms that websites can be a more convenient and secure solution for many users. However, for many companies, creating a website will prove to be the most optimal solution to effectively attract customers and provide high quality service with minimal costs and complexity.
To summarize, a careful choice between website and mobile app development should be based on the specific needs of the business, its target audience, and available resources. However, for many companies, ordering a website will prove to be the most optimal solution that allows them to effectively attract customers and provide high quality service with minimal costs and complexity.
What are progressive web applications and what are their advantages
Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) are changing the way we think about what websites can do. This technology combines the best of the web and mobile applications, offering speed and usability that was previously only possible in apps. In this article, we'll take a closer look at what progressive web apps are, what technologies are behind them, their benefits, and key implementation considerations. We will pay special attention to how progressive web applications can transform your business by providing a better user experience and increasing productivity.
What are progressive web applications?
Progressive web applications are a type of software that is split into a website and a mobile application. This allows users to install web applications on their devices and use them in a similar way to regular mobile applications. An important feature of PWAs is that they use web browser technologies but offer functionality that is usually associated only with mobile applications.
The PWA concept was first introduced by Google in 2015. The goal was to make the web experience as convenient and fast as possible. Since then, the technology has gained significant development and support, especially from companies seeking to improve the mobile user experience without losing the versatility and accessibility of the web.
Technologies used in advanced web applications
Progressive web applications use a number of modern web technologies to provide users with an experience that is as close as possible to mobile applications. The most important of these technologies are:
- Service Workers - scripts that run in the background, independently of the web page, and allow you to manage network requests, cache resources, and use push notifications.
- Manifest file - a JSON file that allows developers to install a web application on the home screen, set the icon and the start screen.
- Using HTTPS - ensuring the security of user data and the reliable operation of web applications.
Why progressive web applications are better than traditional sites
Improving the user experience
Progressive web applications are characterized by extremely fast loading speeds and high responsiveness, which is ensured by data caching and intelligent management of network requests. This means that users are able to access content instantly, regardless of the quality of their Internet connection, which significantly improves the overall user experience.
Offline access and support for push notifications
One of the defining features of PWA is the ability to work offline. This is achieved thanks to Service Workers technology, which allows web applications to cache important content and provide access to it without the need for an Internet connection. In addition, PWAs can use push notifications to inform users about news, updates, or special offers even when they are not using the web application.
Increase engagement and conversion rates
Thanks to better user experience and offline capabilities, PWAs demonstrate high rates of user engagement and increased conversions. The ability to load quickly and run smoothly on any device ensures higher customer loyalty and a higher likelihood of completing targeted actions, such as making a purchase or filling out a contact form.
Steps to implement progressive web applications in your business
Implementing progressive web applications may seem daunting, but with the right approach, the process can be efficient and smooth. Here are the basic steps to integrate PWA into your business:
- Audit the current state of the website - check if your site is ready for conversion to PWA. This includes ensuring HTTPS compatibility, site responsiveness on different devices, and the availability of all necessary technical aspects.
- Developing and configuring Service Workers is a key component of PWA that allows the website to work offline and use push notifications.
- Creating a web app manifest - a manifest allows users to add your app to the home screen of their devices, providing easier access and a more native experience.
- PWA testing - ensure that your PWA works properly across all devices and browsers, with special attention to offline mode and loading speed.
- Monitoring and updating - once your PWA is up and running, it's important to keep it up to date and make updates to resolve any issues or improve functionality.
To illustrate how easily and quickly users can install a progressive web application on their devices, we have prepared an animated GIF. This GIF shows the process from the moment a user visits a website to the moment they install the web application on the home screen of their mobile device. This demonstrates the simplicity and ease of use of PWAs, as well as their ability to offer a native experience through a web browser.
Progressive web apps are a powerful tool for business development, offering speed, convenience, and an enhanced user experience comparable to native mobile apps. They allow you to achieve a high level of customer engagement, provide the ability to work offline and send push notifications, which is critical in today's dynamic market. Thanks to their ease of installation and efficiency, PWAs can significantly increase conversion rates and improve the overall user experience.
If you're looking for a way to make your web experience more efficient and engaging, progressive web applications can be a great solution. Remember that proper implementation and ongoing updates are essential to the success of any technology solution. Don't hesitate to bring in professionals to help you optimize your website to turn it into a responsive web app and take full advantage of its capabilities.
Virtual fitting rooms in online stores: how artificial intelligence is changing shopping
In a world where technology is changing every aspect of our lives, online shopping has become one of the fastest growing areas. However, despite all the convenience that shopping from home offers, there is one problem that still makes many shoppers hesitate before clicking the "buy" button: the inability to try on clothes before buying. This is where innovative technologies, such as virtual fitting rooms, come into play, promising to revolutionize the way we buy clothes online.
Virtual fitting room is a cutting-edge technology that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to allow customers to try on clothes virtually before making a purchase. This innovation has the potential not only to provide a better online shopping experience, but also to fundamentally change the entire retail sector.
Our company is closely monitoring this area of technology and expects its rapid development in the near future. We believe that the integration of such innovations will not only increase customer satisfaction, but will also significantly improve the efficiency of online stores by reducing the number of returns due to mismatched sizes or appearance of goods.
Evolution of virtual fitting rooms
From early experiments to today's advanced systems, virtual fitting rooms have come a long way. Initial attempts to implement digital solutions for trying on clothes were criticized due to poor visualization quality and limited functionality. However, with the advent of advanced artificial intelligence technologies and improved image processing algorithms, virtual fitting rooms are becoming much more accurate and useful for the end user.
The key to the success of virtual fitting rooms lies in the use of a range of technologies. This includes computer vision, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and image processing algorithms. These technologies allow to analyze users' photos in real time, adapting clothes to their body parameters. In addition, advanced interfaces ensure that these systems are intuitive and easy to use.
Benefits for consumers and businesses
Virtual fitting rooms offer significant benefits for both customers and store owners. For consumers, it is an opportunity to visually assess how the clothes will fit them without having to visit a physical store or wait for the goods to be delivered. This significantly increases customer satisfaction and reduces the number of returns. On the other hand, retailers are able to attract more customers by offering a unique shopping experience and reduce the costs associated with handling returns. As a result, virtual fitting rooms not only boost sales but also improve business sustainability.
Online fitting - how does it work?
Integrating a virtual fitting room into a website requires a comprehensive approach that includes the development or implementation of specialized software. This software uses artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze user-entered data, such as body measurements, or even real-time photos or videos to create an accurate virtual image on which to "try on" clothes.
Artificial intelligence plays a key role in the functioning of virtual fitting rooms, as it analyzes and processes user data to create an accurate three-dimensional model. Such systems can recommend the most suitable size of clothing, taking into account not only the size but also the personal preferences of users regarding the fit of clothing. The introduction of virtual fitting rooms is changing not only the way people buy clothes, but also the overall online shopping experience. Customers are able not only to visually see how the clothes will look on them, but also to experiment with different styles and colors without the need to physically visit the store. This interactive approach can greatly enhance the user experience, increasing shopping satisfaction while reducing the likelihood of returning an item due to a failure to meet expectations.
Advantages of online clothing fitting
The use of online clothing fitting technologies brings significant benefits that affect both the consumer experience and the efficiency and sustainability of retail business models. Let's look at the key aspects of these benefits:
Reducing the number of product returns
One of the biggest challenges for online retailers is the high number of returns, which is often due to mismatches in sizing or customer expectations of how the product looks. Online clothing fitting can significantly reduce this risk by giving customers a better understanding of how the clothes will fit them, which in turn leads to more confident purchases and fewer returns.
Increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty
Enhancing the online shopping experience through a virtual fitting room helps to increase overall customer satisfaction. Interactivity and personalization of purchases strengthen the relationship between brands and their customers, encouraging repeat purchases and increasing loyalty.
Impact on environmental friendliness and business sustainability
Reducing the number of returns not only improves economic efficiency for businesses, but also has a positive impact on the environment. Reducing the need to transport returned goods helps to reduce the carbon footprint of companies, making them more sustainable and environmentally responsible.
The future of the fitting room for an online store
One of the main trends is to improve the accuracy and interactivity of virtual fitting rooms through the expanded use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. This includes the development of algorithms that can analyze the more subtle nuances of users' figures, as well as integration with virtual and augmented reality to create a more immersive fitting experience.
Artificial intelligence not only improves virtual fitting rooms, but also opens up new opportunities for personalizing fashion offers. This can include automatic clothing recommendations based on previous purchases, lifestyle, and personal preferences, which will significantly improve the user experience and shopping efficiency.
By closely following these trends and actively experimenting with virtual fitting rooms, our company strives not only to optimize our customers' experience, but also to act as an integration leader in the market. Recognizing the importance of these innovations, we are confident that the further introduction and development of virtual fitting rooms will not only contribute to the growth of our company, but will also play an important role in shaping the future of online retail by making shopping more convenient, personalized and sustainable.
