Click Tracking

The measurement of where and how users click on a webpage, revealing which elements attract attention and which are ignored. Click tracking data helps optimize button placement, navigation design, and content hierarchy. Framer's built-in click tracking in Metrics shows exactly where visitors engage without needing external heatmap tools.

  • Drag

    Interaction

    An interaction where users click and hold an element to move it, common for reordering lists, sliders, and drawing interfaces. Drag interactions should provide clear visual feedback about what's being moved and where it can be dropped. Consider touch device behavior where drag competes with scrolling gestures.
