Ideally a website should have high conversion rate, high page load speed, and low bounce rate. It should be fully functional and error-free.  The question remains - can it be achieved? Yes, all you need to do is to focus on bounce rate. "Slow website loading speed may impact your search rankings as well as increase bounce rate". According to Google, Bounce Rate is the percentage of single-page sessions (i.e. sessions in which the person left your site from the entrance page without interacting with the page). Here are a few methods to reduce bounce rate of a website: Create specific landing pages Reduce the bounce rate by offering the most suitable answer to user’s query.  Write specific and relevant content.
