Explore Crazy Egg’s Heatmap Report
When you create a Heatmap, you can access seven reports. The Heatmap is a visual overview of where your visitors are clicking. The brighter the area, the more popular it is; the darker the area, the less popular it is. As a specific area of your page gets more clicks, the colour on the Heatmap will change.

FAQ
1. How is the Heatmap Report generated?
This report is generated based on the actual clicks of your visitors. You can gain insight into how visitors are engaging with your website.
2. What can I use the Heatmap report to do?
The main value of a Heatmap is to quickly identify the areas of your site that see the most visitor engagement, so you can position your calls to action and important information. For example, let’s say you want to increase the number of people entering their email addresses on your subscription form.
Using the Heatmap, find an area with a large number of clicks (the brightest colour). Place the subscription field closer to this area. Then, create a new snapshot to test whether the new placement converts better on subscriptions. If you have two areas with a high number of clicks (bright areas), you may want to try an A/B test. You will also want to consider comparing your results to determine which scenario is working better.
3. Can I export my report?
Indeed, you can! Here’s how to export your Heatmap data.
