WEB DESIGN

Could you guys give me your opinion as to why the bounce rate of this website is so high?

The bounce rate is between 85 - 95% and doesn't seem to be going down despite my efforts.

I'm covered it is the loading speed of the site, how long does it take to load for you guys?

I'm fairly confident the design isn't off-putting, but I could be wrong.

You opinions would be a great help!

Now, there can be many different reasons for a bounce.

Maybe you are getting traffic that isn't interested in your page, this would get immediate bounces.

The loading speed and design is good.

A few tweaks that I would suggest is to put up sharing buttons without numbers of shares, because when people see there are no shares, they are likely to not share as well and some might bounce, if they see no one else has read the article.

Another thing what I would do is to put related post suggestions at the bottom this should decrease the bounce rate as well.

  Thanks, but I was more interested in seeing how quickly (or slowly) my websites loaded for people.

  Once your server responds to the request, the actual website content loads pretty fast. However, there is some noticeable server latency after each click.
  
  More importantly though, your bounce rate is going to be highly dependent on how well the landing page matches the search terms that preceded it.
  
  Thanks

The site loads fast enough, that shouldn't impact the bounce rate.
