Heatmap Tool: See Why Visitors Don't Click

Find missed clicks, weak scroll depth, and frustration across devices with six Heatmaps. Explore GDPR-compliant insights hosted in the EU.

Are heatmaps GDPR-compliant?

Yes, BigHoot automatically masks all form inputs, passwords, and sensitive data. Hosting is primarily in the EU.

How is heatmap data stored?

Heatmap data is stored aggregated and anonymized. No personal data is captured.

What heatmap types are available?

7 types: Click Heatmaps, Scroll Heatmaps, Rage-Click Detection, Mouse Movement, Attention Zones, Element Analysis and Revenue Heatmaps (from Pro).

Are heatmaps separated by device?

Yes, BigHoot automatically analyzes Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile separately, so you can see device-specific differences.

Do heatmaps affect page performance?

No, data collection is asynchronous and requires under 5 KB. No measurable impact on Core Web Vitals.

How many visitors do I need before a heatmap is meaningful?

A good rule of thumb is around 100 sessions per page and device type. Below that you will see dots, but individual users distort the picture. Rage clicks need fewer sessions, because a single repeated pattern is already a clear signal.

What happens to my heatmaps when I redesign the page?

BigHoot captures a new screenshot of the changed page. Existing aggregates stay attached to the previous state, new data runs against the new screenshot. That way you compare before and after cleanly instead of seeing clicks on elements that no longer exist.
