 Click Analytics [klik an-l-it-iks] :
 a specific metric that interprets web site
use by studying clicks on a web page
 1. Visualize your web site’s usage
 2. Create easy to interpret reports
 3. Test what works/what doesn’t work
And so on…
Analytics
• Site Overlay - loads a web page and then
overlays it with click data for links* on that page
Pros Cons
• FREE
• Fairly easy to use
• Must archive old designs
• NO export functionality
• Doesn’t (easily) track
outbound links
• Not easy to segment data
Conclusion
• Must use hacks to really make it useful.
Crazy Egg
• Site Overlay – tracks all clicks on a web
page
• Confetti View – clicks are represented as
dots on a web page
• Heat Map – clicks are represented by
intensity of color
Pros Cons
• three different
tools/views
• Easy to archive
• Easy to segment data
• Fee based
• Limited export
functionality
Conclusion
• A worthy investment, but is not a complete web
analytics package.
Piwik
with ClickHeat
• Heat Map - clicks are represented by
intensity of color
Pros Cons
• FREE
• Open Source
(customizable)
• Real time data
• ClickHeat must be added
to PiWik installation
• NO export functionality
• No segmentation of data
• Slows down web page
Conclusion
• Not as robust as Crazy Egg, but it offers a more
rounded web analytics package.
 Supplement to web analytics
 Does NOT replace usability testing
