Shareaholic also reported that mobile users “have a 9.56 percent higher bounce rate than desktop visitors.” This is no surprise; the surprise is that the number isn’t higher. Sites and experiences not optimized for mobile users will see abandonment.
Recent research from Google found that 61 percent of mobile users will simply “move on” or abandon the site if they encounter a non-mobile-friendly user experience.
