How is this different from Hotjar, Google Analytics, or heatmaps?
Those tools show you what happened. A Site Burn tells you why. A heatmap can show a visitor rage-clicking your size chart; a burn has them saying out loud, 'I have no idea if this is a US or UK size, I'm out.'
Analytics and heatmaps are good at counting and pointing: 40% of visitors scroll past the fold, 12% click the size guide, someone rage-clicked a button. What they can't tell you is what the visitor was thinking.
A Site Burn is one person, out loud. "I'm looking for shipping info and I can't find it… okay, I'm going to assume it's expensive." That's a sentence you can act on tomorrow.
Use both
- 1Use analytics to find the page that's leaking.
- 2Use burns to find out why.
- 3Fix it.
- 4Use analytics to confirm it worked.
