Why did my website's bounce rate suddenly increase by 50%?

Hello,

I am having problems with the Bounce Rate of my website. From one day to the next it increased by 50%.

When this happened we were using Prestashop and we thought it was a CMS problem. We have switched to Shopify and the bounce rate is still 70%.

It is very strange because we had an average of 30% and it increased from one day to another. No changes were made at the web level. The changes that were made that week were related to:

  • Robot.txt file

  • Cloudflare (which in theory is now disabled)

  • Banner accept cookies (now they are deactivated)

Please I need help! I don’t know what to do to fix it.

Thank you very much,

Bounce rate increase because of Content quality, store speed, not having internal linking.

You have to work these points.
