The no-recording alternative

Session replay insight, without the recording

Session replay means storing your users' screens, hours of review, and a privacy liability. Checkout Friction Detector gives you the same checkout answers from behavioral signals alone — nothing to watch, nothing sensitive to leak.

No session recordings · No PII captured · Behavioral signals only

For teams that want to understand checkout friction but can't justify the privacy risk and review time of recording every visitor.

Session replay has a cost problem

Recording every visitor creates a privacy liability, balloons storage, and buries the insight under hours of footage.

📹

A privacy liability

Replays capture screens and inputs, dragging you into masking rules, consent banners, and compliance reviews.

⏱️

Hours of review

Finding one broken field means scrubbing through dozens of recordings nobody has time to watch.

📦

Storage & noise

You pay to store thousands of sessions, the vast majority of which contain nothing actionable.

Answers, not footage

We measure how users interact with your checkout — not what their screen shows or what they type.

What we detect

Actionable signals, not vanity metrics.

Field hesitation

Users focus a field and freeze — unclear labels or confusing inputs.

Validation failures

Repeated errors on the same field indicating UX issues.

Step abandonment

Users start checkout but leave at a specific step.

Rage clicks

Frustrated rapid clicking on elements that seem unresponsive.

Dead clicks

Clicks on buttons that produce no visible result.

Repeated edits

Users type, delete, retype — they don't understand what's expected.

Submit friction

Multiple submit attempts without successful conversion.

Weekly reports

Prioritized summary of your worst friction points.

Frequently asked questions

How can you find checkout issues without recording sessions?
We capture interaction patterns — which field was focused, how long a user paused, repeated edits, rage and dead clicks, where a step was abandoned. That behavioral signal is enough to pinpoint friction without ever recording the screen.
What exactly do you not capture?
No screen contents, no DOM snapshots, no mouse paths, no keystrokes, and no form values. We record field names like "email" or "phone" — never what the user typed into them.
Is this better for privacy and compliance?
Yes. Because there are no recordings and no PII, your data-minimization story is dramatically simpler than with replay tools, and there is nothing sensitive in our database to leak.
Do I lose insight compared with session replay?
For diagnosing checkout friction, no. You trade the ability to watch individual replays for a ranked, prioritized list of what's actually broken — which is what most teams were hunting for in the recordings anyway.
Can I still get alerted in real time?
Yes. Friction spikes trigger email and Slack alerts, and a weekly report summarizes your top issues with recommendations.
