Section Insights

Section Insights shows you how visitors interact with each individual section of your page β€” where they click, how far they scroll, how long they stay, and which sections drive the most engagement.

Availability: Paid plans only.


How to access

  1. Go to Analytics and click on any page

  2. Select the Section Insights tab


Section Picker

The left sidebar lists all sections on the page. Each section shows:

  • Section name and position number

  • Engagement score (0–10) β€” a color-coded badge summarizing overall section performance

  • View count and CTA click rate at a glance

Click any section to see its detailed metrics and heatmap.

Engagement Score

Each section receives a score from 0 to 10 based on three factors:

Factor
What it measures
Benchmark

Click rate

% of viewers who clicked something

2%

CTA click rate

% of viewers who clicked a call-to-action element

5%

Avg. dwell time

How long visitors spent viewing this section

5 seconds

Score colors:

Score
Color
Meaning

7–10

Green

Strong engagement β€” section is working well

4–6

Yellow

Moderate β€” room for improvement

0–3

Red

Low engagement β€” consider redesigning

Sections without CTA elements (like headers or footers) are scored on click rate and dwell time only.


Metric Cards

Six metric cards show detailed performance for the selected section:

Metric
What it tells you

Impressions

How many times this section was viewed

Click Rate

% of viewers who clicked any element in this section

CTA Click Rate

% of viewers who clicked a call-to-action element

Avg. Time on Section

Average seconds visitors spent viewing this section

Bounce Rate

% of visitors who left the page from this section

Exit Rate

% of visitors whose last interaction was in this section

Each card includes a sparkline trend chart. When comparison mode is on, you also see the previous period's value and a percentage change.


Heatmap Preview

A visual overlay showing exactly where visitors click on your section.

Click Heatmap

  • Red/orange zones = high click activity (hot spots)

  • Blue/transparent zones = low or no clicks (cold spots)

  • Rendered as a color grid over your actual section design

Scroll Depth

Switch to Scroll Depth view to see how far visitors scroll within the section:

  • Horizontal bands at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% depth

  • Each band shows the percentage of viewers who scrolled that far

  • Helps identify if visitors see your full section or drop off early

Device filter

Filter heatmap data by device type:

Filter
What it shows

All

Combined data from all devices

Desktop

Desktop visitors only (1440px preview)

Tablet

Tablet visitors only (768px preview)

Mobile

Mobile visitors only (375px preview)

The preview automatically adjusts to show your section at the selected device width.


CTA Breakdown

Below the heatmap, a detailed table shows click performance for each CTA element in the section:

Column
What it shows

Element

The HTML tag and link destination

Clicks

Total click count

Unique Visitors

Number of distinct visitors who clicked

Click Rate

% of section viewers who clicked this element

Use this to identify which buttons, links, or images drive the most clicks β€” and which are being ignored.


Dead Click Alert

If a section has a high click rate but zero CTA clicks, Section Insights shows a Dead Click Alert. This means visitors are clicking on non-interactive elements β€” they expect something to happen, but nothing does.

Common fixes:

  • Add a link or button where visitors are clicking

  • Make non-clickable elements look less interactive (remove hover effects, underlines)

  • Replace decorative images with linked product cards


Tips for using Section Insights

  • Check weekly β€” section performance changes as your traffic and campaigns evolve

  • Compare sections β€” look at which sections have the highest vs lowest engagement scores

  • Mobile matters β€” always check the mobile heatmap separately; click patterns differ significantly from desktop

  • Low scroll depth? β€” if visitors aren't seeing your full section, consider making it shorter or moving key content higher

  • High bounce from a section? β€” the section might be confusing, slow to load, or missing a clear next step
