Page Performance Analysis
This page explains how to measure exit rate for a single page. It also shows related metrics like bounce rate and non-exit pageviews. Use these numbers to judge page performance and find improvement areas.
Key terms in simple words
- Total pageviews: How many times the page was viewed. (10,000)
- Total exits: Sessions that ended on this page. (3,000)
- Total entrances: Sessions that started on this page. (7,500)
- Bounces: Single-page sessions that started and ended on the same page. (2,500)
- Non-exit pageviews: Pageviews that did not end the session. (7,000)
- Engaged sessions: Sessions that meet your engagement criteria. (5,000)
How to calculate the Exit Rate
Exit rate shows how often users leave your site from this page. The formula is:
Exit Rate = (Total Exits ÷ Total Pageviews) × 100
Using your numbers: (3,000 ÷ 10,000) × 100 = 30.0%.
How to calculate the Bounce Rate
Bounce rate shows how often sessions that started on this page ended there without further interaction. The formula is:
Bounce Rate = (Bounces ÷ Total Entrances) × 100
Using your numbers: (2,500 ÷ 7,500) × 100 = 33.3%.
Other useful metrics (from your data)
- Non-exit pageviews: Total pageviews − Total exits = 10,000 − 3,000 = 7,000.
- Engaged sessions: Sessions counted as engaged by your analytics rules = 5,000.
What these numbers tell you
- A 30% exit rate means 3 in 10 pageviews end the session on this page.
- A 33.3% bounce rate means 1 in 3 entrances leave without further action.
- High exit rate alone is not always bad. Some pages are meant to finish the user journey (thank-you pages, download pages).
- High bounce and high exits on content pages can mean the content or UX is not matching user intent.
Quick checks to interpret the page
- Is this page a final step (checkout, download)? If yes, a high exit rate can be normal.
- Compare exit rate to similar pages. Use a benchmark for the same page type.
- Look at engaged sessions. If engagements are high, users still interact even if they exit later.
Ways to lower exit and bounce rates
- Improve page load speed. Slow pages lose visitors.
- Make the main message clear in the first screen.
- Add clear calls to action (CTA) so visitors know the next step.
- Use related links or recommended content to keep people moving deeper into the site.
- Test headlines and media (A/B tests) to see what reduces bounces.
- Check mobile experience. Many exits happen on poor mobile layouts.
Summary
With 10,000 pageviews and 3,000 exits your page exit rate is 30.0%. Your bounce rate is 33.3%. Use these numbers with context. They help you decide what to test next to improve performance.
