Analytics & Tracking

Engagement Rate

Quick Definition

Engagement rate is the percentage of sessions that are engaged (10+ seconds, conversion, or 2+ pageviews) in GA4.

In context

Replaces the old bounce rate metric. Healthier benchmarks: 50–70% engagement rate is good for most content sites; lower for landing pages designed for single-action conversion.
