It can include the user view (browser or screen output), the user input (keyboard and mouse input).<br \/><br \/>Its principal value is to help improve your user experience and identify obstacles in websites&#8217; conversion processes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>However, it can also be used to study site usability and customer behavior and address customer service issues, as the entire customer journey with all interactions can be replayed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-replay-sessions-some-basics\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Replay_Sessions_some_basics\"><\/span>Replay Sessions: some basics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before the Replay Sessions existed, marketers were unable to delve deeper into their user engagement metrics.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Steve Krug, author of the book Don&#8217;t Make Me Think, says companies spend between $5,000 and $10,000 per user experience test. With the advent of analytical and CRO tools currently on the market, these tests can be performed at a fraction of the costs mentioned above.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For these UX tests to be practical, replay sessions must include mouse movements, clicks, page scrolling, and form input to be valid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Replay sessions should clearly display the layout, design, and content of the web page being replayed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-so-why-do-you-need-replay-sessions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_why_do_you_need_replay_sessions\"><\/span>So why do you need replay sessions?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Replay sessions are more than a part of your optimization journey. They provide accurate and in-depth insight into visitor behavior.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>They are the closest you can read to your customer&#8217;s mind.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It fills the void created by heat maps by providing detailed information based on user interactions within your site or application.<\/p>\r\n<p>Traditional analytical tools like Google Analytics track user metrics to some extent. Google Analytics uses cookies to provide the number of sessions used by a visitor, bounce rates, exit times, etc.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While this is valuable information to capture, this data does not provide any context about user experience or user engagement.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For example, when Google Analytics tells you that a visitor has spent 5 minutes of their time on your web page, that is apparently a good metric from an analytical perspective.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But, we don&#8217;t know if the visitor spent 5 minutes of their time looking for something they wanted or if they couldn&#8217;t.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This is where replay sessions come to let you know how much time users spend on a particular page. It provides information about all of their activity, including downtime.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-where-can-i-use-replay-sessions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_I_use_replay_sessions\"><\/span>Where can I use replay sessions?<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/d5srLb467ngbe3P2XjI4FUZ66tJnGUkIBsB9rUFRzYsU9YccbszylX59JF6WPzdAcPqiroIRigdbmXr2bIMfhg9_9W01TRLw6acjaQ90KTUNoIR3QMY-FDLdCNeK3iVqlfzfHiu-\" width=\"624\" height=\"416\" \/><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Replay sessions can be used in several ways because they contain a good amount of information about your users&#8217; behavior.<br \/><br \/>They are mainly used to improve your website conversion rates, take on better product development strategies and provide excellent customer service.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-boosting-conversion-rates\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boosting_conversion_rates\"><\/span><strong>Boosting conversion rates<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To get the most out of your inbound traffic, replay sessions provide input for your conversion experiences by helping you understand what needs to be tested based on your visitors&#8217; interaction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It also highlights what issues your visitors face while browsing your website, which keeps them from converting or frustrating them.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>By refining these areas, your conversion rates can improve while still making your visitors satisfied.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-identify-bad-ux-designs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Identify_bad_UX_designs\"><\/span><strong>Identify bad UX designs<\/strong>.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Good designs are barely noticed.
