In March 2026, the site reached 166,400 total users and 173,600 engaged sessions. Bounce rate increased to 2.26%, while average user engagement time rose slightly to 13 seconds. Despite improved engagement time, overall traffic and engagement volume declined compared to the previous month.
Key Takeaways
- Total Users declined to 166.4K (-18% month over month), with New Users at 165.9K (-18%), indicating a broad drop in overall traffic volume.
- Engaged Sessions decreased to 173.6K (-17%), reflecting fewer total interactions across the site.
- Bounce rate increased to 2.26% (+75%), though it remains very low overall, suggesting most sessions still include some level of interaction.
- Average engagement time increased to 13 seconds (+44%), indicating slightly deeper engagement among users who do visit.
- Total event count declined to 1.09M (-12%), while events per user increased to 6.54 (+6.53%), showing that remaining users are interacting more frequently per session.
- Key events decreased to 211.7K (-11%), indicating a drop in conversion-related activity alongside the decline in traffic.
Channel Notes
Direct traffic remains the dominant source with 118,685 users but saw a significant decline (-29%) in both total and new users, indicating a drop in brand-driven or returning traffic.
Cross-network traffic experienced substantial growth, increasing to 22,920 users (+390%) and new users (+421%), though average engagement time decreased (-27%), suggesting increased volume but lower-quality traffic.
Organic Search declined to 14,369 users (-17%) and new users (-16%), with lower engagement time (-7.48%), pointing to reduced visibility or weaker performance in search.
Paid Social continues to contribute traffic but remains a smaller share of overall acquisition.
Device Notes
Desktop remains the dominant device with 128K users, followed by mobile at 38,647 users, with tablet traffic minimal (1,031).
The heavy reliance on desktop traffic suggests that engagement trends are largely influenced by desktop behavior, though mobile remains a meaningful segment that should not be overlooked.
What We Recommend Next
- Investigate the decline in Direct traffic to determine whether it is related to reduced brand demand, campaign changes, or tracking issues.
- Review Cross-network campaigns to improve traffic quality and ensure better alignment between targeting and landing pages.
- Analyze Organic Search performance, including rankings and impressions, to identify opportunities to recover lost visibility.
- Evaluate top landing pages, especially high-traffic pages like the homepage and product/category pages, to improve engagement time and reduce drop-off.
- Review conversion paths and key event tracking to identify where declines in key events are occurring.
How We’ll Measure Improvement
We will know these changes are working if traffic stabilizes and engagement quality continues to improve across channels.
- Recovery in total users, especially from Direct and Organic Search.
- Improved engagement time and sustained events per user.
- Stabilization or growth in key events and conversion-related activity.
- Better performance from Cross-network traffic, reflected in higher engagement time and lower drop-off rates.
