Heat Map
An analytical tool that monitors traffic to your website and produces a color-coded “heat” map of user behavior on a site. Areas that are scrolled and clicked more will show up as hotter than others.
This allows you to see how people interact with your site design, and make iterative improvements that generate more engagement with important site elements.
