bounce

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Bounce' has several meanings, not all physical. It can mean a message returned to the sender because it couldn't be delivered, or you've been asked to leave a place.

Examples in Different Contexts

In web analytics, 'bounce' rate measures the percentage of visitors who navigate away after only viewing one page. A website developer might observe, 'A high bounce rate on our landing page suggests it isn't meeting user expectations.'
