HeatSketch – Heatmap and Session Recording Tool (SaaS Platform)

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. It 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.

• See exactly where your website visitors are clicking, scrolling, and spending their time.
• Identify which areas of your website are most engaging and which ones need improvement.
• Understand how visitors are navigating through your website and where they’re dropping off.
• Analyze user behavior and make data-driven decisions to improve your website’s performance.

By analyzing 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 recording tool is another amazing feature of HeatSketch.

• Session recordings offers a comprehensive view of how users engage 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.

Server Requirements & Installation

• PHP v7.4 to v8+ & MySQL v5.x
• Make sure curl is enabled , mbstring is enabled, set_time_out is enabled , safe_mode is off, open_base_dir has no value, multibyte string PHP extension enabled, allow_url_fopen=1 and mysqli support is on.
• Make sure Apache server’s mod rewrite is enabled.
• See installation video in video manual section below.
• It will need ZipArchive php module installed to unzip files during auto-update..

Your domain must have https to use HeatSketch features.

[Note: If you get “404 page not found” error then make AllowOverride in your virtual host.]

For better performance set php max_execution_time, mysql connect_timeout, mysql wait_timeout , max_allowed_packet , max_connections to long limit possible, so that your server can process script for long time if needed.

For fast loading, we recommend to enable GZIP Compression on your server (Most server enable it by default)

Note : We highly recommend to use VPS or Dedicated server to run this software smoothly. However it can be installed and run from shared hosting also. But it depends on how much users are using and how many visitors are coming in websites.

• To effectively manage the large amount of data that this application handles, the use of S3 cloud storage is a requirement for this project. Storing such an extensive volume of data on local storage would result in increased costs, which is why we have excluded this option.
