Can you set the percentage that will negate a bounce for noninteraction=fasle?

  • Hi there, debating turning the nonInteraction=false because I personally feel that a user who scrolls, for example 50% down your page an spent 60 seconds, is not a bouncer! They are still valuable. But is it possible to set the exact percentage that triggers the “negate a bounce” function? For example, if they only scrolled 25% and left, I’d probably leave that as a bounce. But if I could set the 50% trigger to then negate a bounce, that makes sense. I appreciate any help! Really pumped for this plugin.

  • Interesting thought, darmenti.

    I don’t actually maintain the scroll-depth javascript. Just the WordPress implementation.
    The official home:
    https://scrolldepth.parsnip.io/

    And github issues:
    https://github.com/robflaherty/jquery-scrolldepth/issues
    You could certainly request the feature there.

    Changing the noninteraction might have unexpected issues.
    It seems to affect time-on-page and other numbers as well.

    I don’t know a way to mix noninteraction and interaction events for scroll-depth.
    If you’re more concerned about the bounce rate, you could turn off the percentage tracking and specify specific elements to trigger. (Visibility) Then you could set noninteraction to false. When a visitor scrolled to that element, it would prevent that page from being counted as a bounce.

    If you’re using Google Tag Manager, you might want to look into the timer trigger.
