Heatmaps

The Heatmap feature visualizes actual user behavior on a page.
It helps you quickly understand interaction patterns and access trends.


How to View Heatmaps

To view heatmaps, open the page report under Behavior in the left menu.

From the report list, select Heatmap in the corresponding column for the page you want to analyze.
The heatmap displays data based on the selected period and filters.


Types of Heatmaps

You can switch between heatmap types by selecting them in the menu.
Colors and intensity indicate where user activity occurred and how concentrated it is.

Scroll Map

Shows how far visitors scroll down the page.

It displays the percentage of users who reached each position on the page.
The number of visitors who reached that position is also shown.

Attention Map

Highlights areas that attract user attention.

Areas that are read more frequently appear in red.
The calculation is based on viewing time and stay patterns.

Visualizes where users clicked on the page.

Areas with more clicks appear in red.
Clicks on non-link elements are also included.

Click Count Map

Displays the number of clicks for each element.

  • Shows click counts as numbers
  • Helps identify elements with concentrated interaction

The background color of the numbers depends on the element’s CSS position.

    These are elements with position: absolute or position: fixed.

  • Black background
    Indicates elements in the normal page layout.
