Utilize this metric to gauge visit quality. A high bounce rate usually indicates that site entrance pages are not pertinent to your visitors. The more convincing the landing pages, the more visitors will stay on the site and convert.

1. Home page that features last blog post as “Welcome to the best sellers’ market in decades.”

Kidding aside, considering your site’s analytics is the best way to boost conversions and thats all about it.
