Find website conversion friction from session recordings and form analytics

Turn session recordings, form drop-offs, heatmaps, and analytics into prioritized website fixes instead of guessing why visitors do not convert.

Why this works

Website conversion debates often become opinion battles because each stakeholder sees a different problem. Behavior analytics, funnels, session recordings, heatmaps, and form data show where visitors hesitate, abandon, rage click, or fail. This workflow turns those observations into an evidence-backed backlog, then separates obvious fixes from experiments that need measurement.

1

Choose one conversion path to audit

45 min

Pick one commercially important path instead of auditing the whole website at once. Good candidates include homepage to demo request, paid landing page to form submit, pricing page to contact sales, webinar page to registration, or product page to trial signup. Pull baseline data from GA4 and PostHog, including sessions, conversion rate, traffic source, device split, form starts, form submits, CTA clicks, funnel step conversion, and exit points. Add the baseline to Google Sheets with the date range and any known campaign context. QA check: the conversion path should have a clear start point, end point, traffic source, and success metric before you review recordings.

Output

A clearly scoped conversion path with baseline metrics and a defined audit window.

Pro tip

Choose a path where action is possible. Auditing a low-priority page creates interesting notes, but not business impact.

2

Collect behavior evidence from sessions and funnels

1-2 hours

Use Microsoft Clarity and PostHog to collect behavior evidence for the chosen path. Review session recordings, heatmaps, rage clicks, dead clicks, scroll depth, form abandonment, device-specific issues, and funnel drop-offs. Save evidence links or clip IDs in Google Sheets with page, device, traffic source, observed issue, severity, and whether the visitor reached the next step. Watch enough sessions to see patterns, not just memorable anecdotes. QA check: include both converted and abandoned sessions so you can compare what successful visitors do differently.

Output

A behavior evidence library with recordings, heatmaps, funnel drop-offs, and observed friction patterns.

Pro tip

Segment recordings by source and device. Paid mobile traffic can show completely different friction than desktop organic traffic.

Expected results

Audit focus

One critical conversion path

A narrow scope produces clearer evidence and faster fixes than auditing the entire website at once.

Evidence quality

Session + funnel data

The workflow combines qualitative behavior recordings with quantitative funnel, form, and conversion metrics.

Fix backlog

10-20 prioritized issues

A focused audit usually surfaces a manageable set of bugs, copy gaps, form issues, proof gaps, and experiment ideas.

Measurement discipline

Before/after conversion review

Each published fix is tied to a baseline, launch timestamp, evidence row, and measurement plan.
