Latest update
Apr 2024
Mouse and scroll-depth tracking launched
For a while now you've been able to use the PostHog toolbar to view the number of clicks on each element of your site. Now, we've added two new options for visualizing user interactions - mouse moves and scroll depth tracking.
Mouse moves helps you visualize cursor movements as a literal heatmap in the browser, with 'hotter' areas indicating a greater volume of movements. It's especially helpful to use alongside click tracking as it can indicate if users are skipping over certain elements without clicking or if buttons are inappropriately sized.
Scroll depth, on the other hand, helps you see how far down a page a user has scrolled, with 'colder' colours indicating fewer users reached that point. It can be useful to enable it with click tracking to see if there are high-interest parts of your site which are getting missed because they're low down the page.
Both options come with some additional options to tweak the viewport accuracy, or two switch the default color palette to something more accessible. You can enable either option right now, via the toolbar.
