My blog gets a fair amount of organic traffic from Google (~300 visits per day) and has links from prominent websites, including a few articles on Lifehacker written just about my blog. Some of my articles have hundreds of likes, comments, etc.

Yet... my blog has a consistent bounce rate of about 87% and pages/session of about 1.35

I've tried adding some getting started information to my widgets on the side bar. My theme is clean, fast, and mobile-responsive. I've worked to get my page load time <4 seconds average. I've added an about section and just about every other trick I've heard of. Yet, users just don't seem to want to stay on my site.

Looking for any advice, thanks!
My site is LifeByExperimentation.com
I'd post a direct link to a popular post, but I'm too new
