Three views, one picture

Click, scroll, and attention maps

Each map answers a different question. Together they tell you where attention goes, what gets seen, and where shoppers get stuck.

Click map

Where shoppers tap

See the elements that get the most interaction — and the ones shoppers expect to be clickable but aren't (a leading cause of frustration).

Scroll map

How far they read

A color gradient shows exactly where visitors stop scrolling, so you know whether your strongest proof and CTA are even being seen.

Attention map

What earns focus

Combine dwell, hover, and interaction to understand which sections actually hold attention versus which get skimmed past.

Mobile map

Thumb-zone reality

Mobile heatmaps reveal fat-finger taps and mis-hits in the thumb zone that desktop testing never catches.

Click maps

See exactly where shoppers tap — and mis-tap

The click map overlays every interaction onto your real page. Hot zones show what earns engagement; clusters on non-clickable elements reveal the false affordances quietly frustrating shoppers. It’s the fastest way to see whether your add-to-cart is actually getting the attention it needs.

  • Every click and tap, aggregated onto the live page
  • Spot non-interactive elements shoppers expect to work
  • Confirm your key CTAs earn the engagement they should

Scroll maps

Find the line where shoppers stop reading

The scroll map shows the exact depth where most visitors stop. The most common discovery: your strongest proof and even your add-to-cart sit below where the majority drop off — invisible to most shoppers. Now you know exactly what to move up.

  • See the attention cliff on every template
  • Engagement, above-fold, and friction rates at a glance
  • Raise high-value content above where shoppers stop

How to read them

What your heatmaps are telling you

  • Bright clusters on non-interactive elements = shoppers expect them to do something. Make them clickable, or remove the false affordance.
  • A hard scroll cut-off well above your add-to-cart or key proof means your most important content is below the fold for most visitors.
  • Heavy clicks on a filter or variant picker followed by exits often signals confusion — pair the heatmap with a session replay to confirm.
  • Cold zones over content you spent time on tell you it isn't earning attention — tighten it, move it, or cut it.
  • Different click patterns on mobile vs desktop almost always mean you need device-specific layout fixes, not one-size-fits-all.

Common questions

Shopify heatmaps — frequently asked

What is a Shopify heatmap?

A Shopify heatmap is a visual overlay of your store pages that shows aggregated visitor behavior — where they click (click map), how far they scroll (scroll map), and which areas hold attention (attention map). Instead of reading rows of numbers, you see a color-coded picture of how shoppers actually engage with each page.

What's the best heatmap app for Shopify?

The best heatmap app for Shopify is one that's lightweight, Shopify-native, and connects the heatmap to action. DynoWeb provides click, scroll, and attention maps with a sub-40 KB tracker, and — unlike most heatmap tools — it turns the patterns it finds into prioritised, dev-ready fix suggestions rather than leaving you to interpret the data alone.

Do heatmaps hurt my Shopify store's SEO or speed?

Not with DynoWeb. The tracker is under 40 KB and loads asynchronously so it doesn't block rendering or degrade Core Web Vitals. It's designed to be SEO-safe and installs as a native Shopify app.

How much traffic do I need before heatmaps are useful?

Heatmaps become reliable once you have enough sessions for patterns to emerge — often a few hundred visits per page. Lower-traffic pages still benefit, but you'll lean more on session replays for those. DynoWeb aggregates across sessions automatically so the maps sharpen as traffic accumulates.
