We Found 303 Dead Clicks on Our Own Homepage (Using Our Own Tool)
We eat our own dog food. EYE tracks eye-analsyis.live the same way it tracks every customer's site — same script, same detection rules, no special treatment.
Last week, our own dashboard flagged this, in plain language, no chart-reading required:
"303 dead clicks on one element on /en"
A dead click means a visitor clicked something that looked interactive and nothing happened. Not a handful — over 300 in two weeks, concentrated on a single element on our own homepage.
We went and looked. The element in question looked clickable but wasn't wired up correctly on certain viewport widths. Visitors were trying to interact with it and hitting a wall, silently, with no error, no complaint — just leaving.
This is exactly the failure mode that's invisible in traditional analytics. Pageviews looked fine. Bounce rate looked fine. Nothing in a funnel report would have caught it, because the visitor didn't drop off a step — they got stuck on one and gave up.
What we did: fixed the element, and now watch the same detector to confirm the count drops to zero going forward.
The point isn't that we had a bug — every site does. The point is that we found it in one sentence, without staring at a heatmap trying to guess, and without needing an AI subscription to explain our own data back to us. That's the whole premise of EYE's insight engine: statistics over your real traffic, not a chatbot guessing at your charts.
If you've never checked your own heatmaps page, this is your reminder.
