ClickHeat - Javascript Clicks heatmap

Posted on September 8, 2008 by Eric Barnes

ClickHeat is a visual heatmap of clicks on a HTML page, showing hot and cold click zones.

A very cool web application I found over the weekend is ClickHeat. By installing ClickHeat it will generate a page preview and show the area that have had the most clicks and where people are clicking.

One of the advantages to this system compared to Google Analytics is you can see the actual place a person has clicked. For example if you have two links pointing to the same file then GA treats it as the same where as ClickHeat shows the actual location of the click.

Here is a screenshot of an example:

Installation

Installation of ClickHeat is very simple and easy. Just upload the files and follow the onscreen directions. It did have some confusing options in the security section but other than that it was dead simple.

After you have it installed then just add their javascript to your page. If you are installing for a 68 Classifieds site be sure and follow the directions here for adding javascript to the template files.

Hey thanks for the comment. That is very true and gives you more fine control on the exact spot. So you can see if something is miss-leading or if users are trying to click something that isn’t a link.
