Biggest opportunity: Swap “analytics”, “insights” and “privacy friendly” for “session replay”, “speak” and “heatmaps”. “analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “session replay” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “insights” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “speak” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “privacy friendly” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “heatmaps” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.3%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 61.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,011 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 14 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

What to do about it
- Swap “analytics”, “insights” and “privacy friendly” for “session replay”, “speak” and “heatmaps”. “analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “session replay” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “insights” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “speak” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “privacy friendly” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “heatmaps” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

An outstanding analytics assistant that turns raw data into actionable insights.

ヒートマップやユーザー行動の録画が無料で見られるし、サイト全体の変化がグラフでぱっと見れるので重宝しています。 使いこなすのに少しかかりましたが、SEO分析がけっこう便利です。フィルターで、信頼性→極めて高い／高い、トレンド→高い順（増えている）、クリック合計→10以上とかで絞り込んで注目されているキーワードを確認して、次の記事を書くときの参考にしています。あと、検索キーワードのリンクをクリックすると該当記事の変化とかいろいろ詳しく見れるのが気に入っています。

某アナリティクスが難しくなってからあまり数値を追わなくなっていましたが、このプラグインならWordPressにログインしたタイミングで、ついでにサイトの状況把握が簡単にできるのが便利です。 他のページ修正のためにログインしたはずが、ヒートマップやセッションリプレイを確認してページ改善したほうがよさそうなポイントにも気づいてしまい、目的のページ以外の作業もついでにやってしまいます。 いろんなツールを駆使するよりもWPのみで完結できるので自分には向いているプラグインです。

アクセス解析ツールとヒートマップとなんやなんか入れたけど、結局どれも満足に使いこなせていない・・・ そんな方におすすめの解析プラグインです。 WordPressサイトであれば、他のプラグインと同じように追加するだけ。 あとはトップページに表示される基礎的な項目を確認し、さらに気になる所があれば個別の管理画面を見ればOKです。

I have never seen like the Plugin! . It’s takes a few seconds to install this plugin! Very Quickly! I used JetPack before installing QA heatmap analytics. But recently, It works slow and I feel annoying while analyzing my Websites. If you feel stressed when you analyze your Websites, you should try “QA”. In particular, I recommend this Plugin to People Shown below ・Want to avoid complicated settings ・Want to use good Plugin For free ・Want to use Plugins without dropping browsing speed

サイトからの集客を増やすにあたって、ユーザー行動を詳しく把握することは重要だ。 Google公式が提供しているアナリティクスやサーチコンソールだけでは、最低限の情報しか得られない。 一方で、市販のヒートマップでは、デザイン性や機能が薄いものが多く、ひどいものだとバグがあったりする。 QA Heatmap Analyticsは、デザイン性も高く、何よりWordPress上で使えるので利便性が高い。 リリース間もないため、所々に未実装の機能があったりするが、大きな問題ではないと感じる。 近々、実装される動画再生の機能が楽しみだ。 アナリティクス、サーチコンソールと並んで、Web集客の必須ツールになると思う。
