If people are landing on your website and leaving straight away - you’ve got a bounce rate problem. Whether you’re a small business in Auckland, or anywhere throughout New Zealand, your website should be working hard for you. At RAZOR, we build websites that convert. Here’s how you can keep your visitors around longer and turn more clicks into customers.
What is Bounce Rate, and Why Does It Matter?
Your bounce rate is the percentage of people who land on your website and leave without clicking on anything else.
A high bounce rate can mean:
- Your content isn’t relevant
- Your site is slow or hard to use
- Visitors don’t know what to do next
For small businesses, especially in competitive areas like Auckland, every visit counts. A great website doesn’t just look good - it keeps people engaged and leads them toward taking action.
Common Reasons Your Website Has a High Bounce Rate
Here’s what could be causing people to leave your site quickly:
- Your Website Takes Too Long to Load
Users expect your site to load fast - ideally in under 3 seconds. If it lags, they’ll bounce.
Our team of website developers can optimise your site speed across all devices.
- Your Design Isn’t Mobile Friendly
Over 50% of traffic comes from mobile. If your site isn’t response, users won’t stick around.
We specialise in responsive website development, including for Shopify and Wordpress websites. - Your Content Doesn’t Match What People Searched
If your website doesn’t quickly show users what they came for, they’ll leave. This is where clear messaging and strong website copywriting comes in.
7 Ways to Improve Your Bounce Rate
- Speed Up Your Website
Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights to check your load times. Then compress images, reduce plugins, and host your site on reliable servers.
At RAZOR, our website builders are experts in creating fast, optimised sites - from informational to e-commerce websites. - Make Navigation a No-Brainer
Visitors should find what they need within seconds. Use clear menus, simple site structure, and visible calls-to-action. - Match Your Content to User Intent
Each page should clearly match what your visitors are searching for. Use headlines that answer their questions and include relevant keywords.
Need help? Our copywriting service helps you say the right thing, the right way. - Use Clear Calls-To-Action (CTAs)
