It had something to do with the way the cookies were set up. Apparently the bouncerate is natural now, it used to be influenced by a weird javascript/cookie string.

Yes that is the weird thing. Nothing happened to the site (at least from what I know now).
I am doing browser tests and other tests at the moment, no results. It is one of the weirder things that I have encountered so far.
Valentines day has nothing to do with it, because the bouncerate is still the same....

What happened on the 14th of February?posted in Reporting & Analytics
Hi guys,
Something super weird happened. The bouncerate of one of my clients has been around 20% for over a year now, with steady traffic.
On the 14th of February, the bouncerate trippled to 60%. The traffic is still as usual, and the bouncerate did not increase for one specific channel, it just trippled overall.
Pages that used to have nearly 0% bounces now have almost 80%, these pages are super relevant for the users. I am worried that something happened, that happened offsite. Because we did not make any changes to the site the last month.
Do you have any suggestions? It is super weird.
