Dead clicks are clicks on something that looks interactive but is not, pointing to a false affordance in the design.

Heatmaps aggregate thousands of micro-interactions into one visual map of where attention concentrates and where it dies. Recordings explain individual journeys, while heatmaps reveal patterns at scale across many visitors.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What are rage clicks and dead clicks in Clarity?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Rage clicks are repeated rapid clicks on the same spot, which usually signal UI confusion, a broken element, or a misleading promise. Dead clicks are clicks on something that looks interactive but is not, pointing to a false affordance in the design. Clarity's AI insights cluster these behaviors so you can spot systemic problems quickly instead of watching every session.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Does Microsoft Clarity slow down my website?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Clarity uses a lightweight client-side script, but like any tracking code it should be validated so it does not degrade page performance. Performance problems can also distort the behavior you observe, so it is worth auditing speed alongside your tracking setup. Confirm the script fires consistently across templates without breaking page load before you act on the data.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How does Microsoft Clarity handle privacy and consent?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Clarity provides privacy controls such as masking sensitive fields and bot filtering, which are the foundation of accurate interpretation rather than just legal checkboxes. You should set opt-in and opt-out logic intentionally, since tracking that starts too early risks compliance and starting too late creates blind spots. Bot filtering acts as a data hygiene step so you do not optimize for ghost interactions.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How do I combine Microsoft Clarity with GA4?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Clarity explains why users struggle, while GA4 tells you where performance drops, so connecting them turns guessing into diagnosis. Use the analytics tool to flag pages with declining engagement or conversions, then pull those sessions in Clarity to find the exact friction moments. Fix the recurring pattern, then monitor improvement over time across your priority URLs.\"}}]}","footnotes":""},"categories":[166],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-terminology"],"yoast_head":"<!--
