Today’s tech tool is one for PHP developers, although I’d be very interested to know if anyone has an alternative that works in ASP.NET. If you’ve ever wondered what exactly your clients are doing on your webpage, then this may be exactly what you are looking for.

ClickHeat records user clicks on your page and displays them as a visual heatmap, showing the areas where users are most likely to click. This functionality is not limited to links, it records every click anywhere on your page.

Maybe users are confusing a graphic with a button, or maybe there’s a page on your site which is more popular than others. ClickHeat can tell you.

Check out the software (free) and it’s demo on the ClickHeat website.

  1. Any word on if there’s compatability issues with using this alongside javascript libraries? I checked the site out but didn’t seem to find a clear answer for that. Also I wonder what kinda performance hit this causes on javascript heavy web apps.

  2. I haven’t had any problems with ClickHeat and MooTools if that helps. But I haven’t heavily used ClickHeat (yet).
