Scroll maps

Important

Heat maps are only displayed on the site pages where the Clarity tracking code is installed. Check the Setup process to know how to install it.

Scroll maps help you determine the ideal page length for maximum conversions and show how far your users scroll on the pages.

This data helps determine whether your users see the most important content and focus on where to put your essential calls to action.
