How to View Heatmaps for a URL in VWO

To view heatmaps for a URL, go to  INSIGHTS > Heatmaps and Enter the URL for which you want to see the heatmap field, enter the URL for which you want to view the heatmap.

If you wish to include or exclude the data from certain URLs in the heatmap or if you want to define advanced pattern-matching options to include either a broad URL with wildcard entries or a specific URL, you can do this in the Advanced tab present above the URL field.

Viewing Heatmap for Multiple Pages

When you open a heatmap, you see that the visitors’ clicks are plotted on the map for the URL where the heatmap is running. Using the VWO heatmap tool, you can view the combined heatmap of all URLs where your test is running, as a single report.

Heatmap tool in VWO typically lets you:

• View heatmaps for multiple URLs with the same pattern
• View heatmaps for all pages

Viewing Heatmaps for Multiple URLs with the Same Pattern

You can view a consolidated report of the heatmap running on multiple pages on your website, using a page pattern. To do this, you can create a URL pattern that matches multiple pages of your website by substituting variable parts of the URL with the wildcard * or an asterisk. The wildcard * matches any part of the URL (including blanks). 

Procedure

1. Open the heatmap from the campaign page.
2. From the menu bar present at the bottom of the heatmap, select the URL matches pattern. 
3. Provide the URL patterns for which you want to view the heatmap and click Go. To learn how to define page patterns using a wildcard, refer to Using URL Patterns in VWO

Viewing Heatmaps for All Pages

You can view a consolidated report of the heatmaps of all the pages of your website, regardless of whether they share a pattern or not.

Procedure

1. Open the heatmap from the campaign page.
2. From the menu bar present at the bottom of the heatmap, select the URL matches pattern.
3. To plot a heatmap for the all the pages running under the campaign, provide the URL pattern as * and then click Go.

NOTE: When you open a consolidated heatmap, the report shows the element 
clicks on the default URL. These clicks are common to other pages where 
the campaign is running (such as navigation bar, footer, and so on). For 
heatmaps created as part of a test, the maximum number of clicks that can be 
plotted on the heatmap report is 100k. However, there is no limit to the 
number of clicks plotted on standalone “Advanced” Heatmaps created.
