Hotjar

Heatmaps, session recordings and on-site feedback surveys

Hotjar shows how visitors use a website through heatmaps of clicks and scrolling, recordings of real sessions, and on-site surveys and feedback widgets. It complements traffic analytics by revealing where people get stuck or hesitate, and includes AI help to create surveys and summarize responses. Hotjar is part of Contentsquare and is aimed at marketers, designers and product teams.
