Exit page
Exit Page shows the last page a user visits before leaving your website. Here's everything you need to know: what it is, why it matters, how to analyze it, and how to reduce exits on key pages!
Formula
Example. If your product page receives 2,000 views and 400 users exit from it, the Exit Rate is 20%. This means 1 in 5 users leaves the site from that page.
What it is
Exit Page refers to the specific page where a user ends their session on your website. It’s the final page they view before closing the tab, returning to search, or navigating away.
Why it matters
Exit Page data helps you understand which pages are leading users to leave your site. High exit rates on key conversion pages may reveal friction, confusion, or underperforming content.
How it is calculated
Exit Page metrics are tracked in analytics tools like Google Analytics. You can analyze how many exits occur on each page and calculate Exit Rate by dividing exits by total pageviews for that page.
A good value
A good Exit Page performance depends on the page’s intent. High exits on confirmation or thank-you pages are normal. For mid-funnel or product pages, lower exit rates suggest stronger engagement.
A bad value
High Exit Rates on landing, product, or checkout pages may signal friction, confusion, or poor user experience – resulting in missed opportunities.
Do
Use these techniques to reduce Exit Rates and keep users engaged on your site longer.
- 01
Strengthen internal linking
Add links to related content or product pages to guide users deeper into your website and encourage continued exploration.
- 02
Improve page load speed
A slow-loading page can cause users to abandon the site. Optimize images and reduce scripts to speed up performance.
- 03
Add clear next steps
Include strong calls to action and navigation cues that direct users to the next logical step in their journey.
Avoid
Ignoring Exit Page reports or misinterpreting exit data can lead to bad decisions. Don’t treat all exits as negative – evaluate in context and prioritize critical pages with high drop-off.
