5 Awesome WordPress Chat Plugins for a kick-ass support system

By Jin - 0

Take a look at your site’s support system. Chances are you can be quite content with how it works. Your ticket system runs well, your forum gets vibrant discussions everyday and your contact form is beyond encouraging. But the thing is you might miss visitors who are in hurry, who have no time for submitting a ticket or searching through your document system. This is when live chat systems come in handy.

Bounce rate or Exit rate is a metric in web analysis, showing the percentage of visitors entering your site and bouncing (or exiting) the site. Bounce rate can be interpreted and says a lot about your site. While other metrics like Visitors or Pageview say a lot about the quantity of traffic coming to your site, Bounce rate represents the quality of your site traffic.
