Website Usage Platform

Question

I have a web application in which I want to find usage patterns.

I want to track (and generate) the use of heatmaps, I checked this question and ClickHeat .
The problem is that they are good for tracking clicks. I want to track usage by tracking the location of the mouse cursor.
It is assumed that the mouse is mainly located where the user is looking ...

onmousemove with sampling interval is what I have.
Is there a JS library that does this more efficiently, or at least outside my site code?

Answer 1

Try a look at this heatmap.js Patrick Weed. Remember to click the Display Website RealTime Heatmap to see it in action.

The Heatmap.js library is currently supported in Firefox 3.6+, Chrome 10, Safari 5, Opera 11, and IE 9+.

Answer 2

If you have a very small site or you are willing to pay for this feature, you can check https://mouseflow.com/ . I have never used it and I don’t know anyone who has it, but I researched it and it looks like it could be something like what you are looking for.
