Session Recording Analysis

What to Look For

  • Rage clicks: Repeated clicks on the same element (broken or confusing)
  • Dead clicks: Clicks on non-interactive elements (visual design issue)
  • U-turns: Going to a page and immediately going back (wrong destination)
  • Long pauses: User stops moving for 5+ seconds (confused or reading)
  • Erratic mouse movement: Cursor moving randomly (searching for something)

Analysis Workflow

  1. Define the question (what are you trying to learn?)
  2. Filter sessions (by page, by behavior, by segment)
  3. Watch 15-20 sessions (patterns emerge)
  4. Tag issues with severity and frequency
  5. Create highlight reel of key moments

Reporting

  • Total sessions reviewed
  • Key patterns with frequency
  • Video clips showing each pattern
  • Recommended actions per pattern

Ethics

  • Always inform users that sessions may be recorded
  • Mask sensitive input fields (passwords, credit cards)
  • Don't record audio without consent
  • Comply with GDPR/privacy regulations
