Understanding Exit Rates
Exit rate measures the percentage of visitors who leave your website from a specific page. Unlike bounce rate (which measures visitors who leave after viewing only one page), exit rate tells you where in the user journey visitors are dropping off. This metric is crucial for understanding user behavior and optimizing website performance.
What is Exit Rate?
Definition
- Percentage of pageviews that were the last in the session
- Measures where visitors leave your site
- Page-level metric for user behavior analysis
- Critical for conversion funnel optimization
Importance
- Identifies problematic pages
- Guides content and UX improvements

- Improves overall site performance
Exit Rate vs Bounce Rate
Key Differences
Understanding the distinction between exit and bounce rates
Exit Rate:
- Last page viewed in a session
- Can occur on any page
- Normal for goal completion pages
- High exit rates may indicate success
Bounce Rate:
- Single-page session
- Only measures first page
- Always indicates a problem
- High bounce rates are concerning
Exit Rate Calculation
Formula:
- Exit Rate = (Exits ÷ Pageviews) × 100
- Exits: Sessions that ended on this page
- Pageviews: Total views of this page
- Expressed as a percentage
Interpretation:
- 0-20%: Excellent (low exits)
- 20-40%: Good (normal range)
- 40-60%: Fair (needs attention)
- 60-100%: Poor (high exits)
