Session Recording

What SaaSalyst Checks

Why This Matters
Session recordings reveal where users get confused, frustrated, or abandon your product. This qualitative data complements quantitative analytics and accelerates product improvement. Teams with session recording tools ship better user experiences faster.
How to Fix It
- Add Hotjar, FullStory, or LogRocket to your site — most have free tiers for low-traffic products
