Google Analytics tells you *what* happened; Hotjar tells you *why*. It visually represents user behavior through Heatmaps (showing where people click and scroll) and Session Recordings (watching real users navigate your site).
It helps you spot bad UX, like rage-clicks (when users click a broken button repeatedly) or confusing navigation. It also offers on-site surveys to ask users questions directly.
Key Highlights:
- Heatmaps: See which parts of your page get ignored.
- Recordings: Watch users interact with your site.
- Surveys: Get feedback from users before they leave.
Verdict: Crucial for optimizing landing pages and fixing UX issues.
