I'd always cringe when looking at the bounce rate for my content that would get attention via social media/Reddit/whatever. I liked getting the raw numbers up and seeing people actually reading our stuff, but everything felt very fleeting when you start giving those numbers context compared to your more organic sources. This is all to say that the numbers don't seem very extraordinary in my experience, generally speaking.

I never really had issues with the immediate changes in WordPress, but that was also before I had a professional job and was dealing with WordPress as more than just a hobby or pet website. It's fairly nerve wracking sometimes just to update plugins or test out minor appearance tweaks. I should probably look into building an actual staging environment like the article suggests.
