Haych/dev Heatmaps
Click & scroll heatmaps that live entirely in your own database. No cookies, no third-party trackers.
Haychdev Heatmaps shows you where visitors click and how far they scroll — as a heat overlay on your live pages. Unlike heavyweight heatmap services that pipe visitor behavior to someone else's servers, it keeps everything in your own database.
Why Haych/dev Heatmaps
- Your data stays yours
Everything is stored in three custom tables in your own WordPress database. Nothing is sent to third-party servers.
- Genuinely lightweight
A sub-4KB cookieless tracker sends a single request per pageview. Busy pages are sampled automatically.
- Privacy-first by architecture
No cookies, no IP storage, no fingerprinting, no PII. GDPR-friendly out of the box.
- Heatmaps on your real pages
Open any page with the floating toolbar and see clicks and scroll depth overlaid on the live, responsive layout.
- Hover for exact numbers
Move the cursor over any heated area to read its click count and share of the page (or scroll-depth reach in scroll mode).
