Aurora Heatmap Premium
Aurora Heatmap Premium shows recorded clicks on desktop and mobile pages as visual heatmaps inside WordPress. Compare activity across page areas, check whether calls to action are being noticed, and find content or layouts that may need revision.
Review where users click
Aurora Heatmap Premium shows recorded clicks on desktop and mobile pages as visual heatmaps inside WordPress. Compare activity across page areas, check whether calls to action are being noticed, and find content or layouts that may need revision.
The maps show behavior patterns rather than a complete count of visits. A specific algorithm selects which activity is recorded, and administrator access is excluded, so heatmap totals may be lower than website access counts.
Premium functions and privacy
- Review desktop and mobile click heatmaps without page or page-view restrictions.
- Use the plugin within WordPress without an external heatmap service account.
- Get priority email support with the premium version.
- The add-on does not use cookies, track customers, send recorded data to external servers, or record personally identifiable data such as IP addresses.
Collect and read heatmap data
Install and activate the plugin, then allow visitor activity to accumulate. Depending on site traffic, data may appear within a few hours to two days. Activity is sent through Ajax as often as necessary; to see recorded data in the dashboard, reload the screen.
High accuracy is recommended for an accurate heatmap. If recording is insufficient, try Standard. Changing from High accuracy deletes the previous standard data. Choosing Standard starts standard recording from that point onward.
Heatmap data is tied to the page URL. If you change a permalink or post slug, the new address is treated as a separate page.
Compatibility and setup
Aurora Heatmap can be used with WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, and WP Super Cache. If a cache plugin interferes with measurement, turn off JavaScript-related optimization or exclude jQuery and the measurement script, reporter.js, from optimization. If data does not appear, clear the cache and check that the site is receiving visitors; very low access may result in little or no counting.
The plugin works by default in most WordPress environments and requires no coding or complex setup. A monthly or annual license agreement is required for the premium version.
