What Are Heatmap Tools?
Heatmap tools visualize how visitors interact with your landing pages by showing where they click, scroll, and move their mouse. This data helps identify conversion barriers and optimization opportunities you can't see in traditional analytics.
🖱️ Click Maps
See exactly where visitors click. Find if they're clicking non-clickable elements or missing your CTA.
📜 Scroll Maps
Discover how far visitors scroll. Position key content and CTAs where they'll actually be seen.
🎥 Session Recordings
Watch real visitors navigate your page. Identify confusion, rage clicks, and drop-off points.
