Detailed operational steps to reduce the bounce rate on website pages

　　I've already discussed the issue of reducing users' bounce rate on pages several times, so I'll just go over it roughly here. Reducing bounce rate actually requires getting into the user's psychology to do it more perfectly — in this stage of step-by-step optimization, detail and content are the key to success. So, how do you reduce the user bounce rate?

　　Steps: Step One

　　When users come to the website, the page load speed must satisfy them. A page opening in under 5 seconds is fairly ideal; beyond that value, users will inevitably be lost indirectly. So server response speed is the most basic and also very important thing, and what we do is optimize the page opening speed well to improve the user experience.

　　Web page code: As we know, any element on a web page will ultimately be converted into code, downloaded locally by the user's browser, and converted into the corresponding page by the browser. From this we can see that page size can also be controlled by optimizing the web page code. A well-optimized web page code can often achieve an effect of more than 30% improvement in compressing page size, so optimization of HTML, JS, and CSS code is relatively important. For example, by adopting a backward-compatible abbreviated pattern and using "!DOCTYPE html" for the document type code instead of the traditional DTD, we can save more than 180 characters for the web page. Also, a DIV+CSS structure saves more code than a table structure, and files pasted from Word or WordPad can have redundant code removed by manipulating the source code. Of course, many CMS systems today already have some optimization in this regard. In addition, if the page is very long, pagination can also reduce the size of each page. Also, when calling library files such as jQuery, you should choose some smaller files — as long as they meet the need.

　　Website images: Images are indispensable for enriching the content elements of a page, so what we need to do is simple: compress the images as much as possible without loss of fidelity, then upload them to the page. If there are too many images on the page, you can merge and compress them with JS, which can also reduce the "volume" of the images.

　　Gzip compression: This method often carries certain risks, but the compression ratio is very high — it can even exceed 80%. The risk is that when search engine spiders crawl such compressed files, they often return code 200 0 64; in other words, it is not conducive to the indexing of website content, so for important website content, it's better to use it less.

　　Video websites: What we can do is still to reduce the volume as much as possible, but for video processing methods, generally converting to FLV format will be smaller than other formats.

　　Steps: Step Two

　　Optimization of the landing page: The theme and the landing page must match, with high relevance, and the theme content must be prominent — no bait-and-switch behavior.

　　Steps: Step Three

　　Content/product images are a kind of support — the core key to whether users continue reading. If the content cannot satisfy users and the product images are blurry, what reason is there to keep users from leaving?

　　You must clearly know the positioning of your own website; the user group determines the article content. What kind of people are the users, what needs do they generally have — gain a deeper understanding of the issues they care about through offline and online channels, feedback and comments, community groups, and so on. Writing skill also needs a certain foundation — at minimum the article should be readable, making it easy for users to understand the meaning of the content. How to write articles won't be discussed here; writing ability needs to be honed through constant practice, and there are plenty of tutorials online if you don't know how.

　　Steps: Step Four

　　The overall color tone of the website should match the website theme; there should be nothing glaring or reflective that affects users' reading. Check whether the layout is neat, paragraphs should be clearly distinguished, and there should be no chaotic phenomena.

　　Steps: Step Five

　　Enrich the website elements: add links on the homepage, list pages, and detail pages that facilitate users' secondary browsing, guiding users to browse again and reducing the bounce rate — for example, plugins such as Latest, Hottest, Recommended Articles, and Related Reading, to help users learn more information about the website.

　　Steps: Step Six

　　The website should not have automatic pop-up ads, automatic consultation windows, or similar information. Once or twice is fine, but a window popping up every few seconds will make users very annoyed. It seriously affects users' experience on the website and interrupts their reading and browsing. Such a website will sooner or later be eliminated by users and left unnoticed.

　　Steps: Step Seven

　　Plan anchor text according to user needs, understand users' intentions, and use anchor text to present more content to users, reducing the bounce rate and achieving secondary browsing. Anchor text should contain guiding links that can satisfy users' other needs.
