HeatSketch is a heatmap and session recording tool that allows you to track and analyze user behavior on your website. Let’s see how HeatSketch can help you monitor user interaction and make data-driven decisions to improve your website’s user experience.
Heatmaps
Heatmaps are visual representations of user behavior on your website. HeatSketch uses color-coded maps to show where users click, move their cursor, and scroll on your website. This data helps you identify which areas of your website are getting the most attention and which areas need improvement.
By analyzing HeatSketch heatmaps, you can improve your website’s navigation and layout to make it more user-friendly. For example, if you notice that users are clicking on an element that is not clickable, you can make it clickable to improve user experience.
Session Recordings
Session recordings provide a complete picture of how users interact with your website. HeatSketch records each user’s session, allowing you to watch how they navigate through your website, where they spend the most time, and which elements they interact with.
Session recordings help you identify any roadblocks or pain points that users may experience while using your website. You can use this data to optimize your website’s layout and functionality to improve user experience.
Provide User Data
HeatSketch provides detailed user data, such as which country they are browsing from, which operating system and browser they are using, and which websites they are coming from. This data helps you understand your audience better and tailor your website’s design to their preferences.
You can also use HeatSketch to track the number of sessions, unique visitors, returning visitors, clicks, and page views. This information helps you measure the effectiveness of your website and identify areas for improvement.
Traffic Overview
HeatSketch provides a comprehensive overview of your website’s traffic for the last 30 days. You can see the top referrers, top pages, and active pages of your website. This data helps you understand which pages are performing well and which pages need improvement.
