What is Session Replay?

Session replay technology captures and recreates actual user sessions, showing you exactly how users navigate, interact, and experience your product. Unlike traditional analytics that show you what happened, session replay shows you how it happened.

  • Visual Bug Detection: See exactly where users encounter issues or get stuck
  • UX Optimization: Understand user frustrations and friction points in real-time
  • Conversion Analysis: Watch successful vs. failed conversion attempts
  • Customer Support: Quickly understand and resolve user issues
  • Heat Map Insights: See where users click, scroll, and focus attention
