Why use a free embeddable click heatmap on your website?
Hotjar and Crazy Egg both have free heatmap tiers in 2026 — so the honest question is not price, it is what you have to install and sign up for. Hotjar's free plan needs an account and ships a full session-recording platform; Crazy Egg's free plan has no recordings and its paid tiers start the heatmap-report count at 5. FeedPulse does one thing: a free click heatmap tool with no account, no email, no credit card and no report caps. Paste one 4 KB snippet, let real visitors click, and see exactly where they clicked on every page — Blazing / hot / warm / smoky temperature bins, per-page breakdown, desktop vs mobile, dead-zone detection. No cookies, no session recording, nothing a consent banner has to disclose. Want to see exactly what you get? → Try the live demo on /sample-heatmap (real visualisation, sample data, zero install).

Click heatmap for WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow & plain HTML
The FeedPulse click heatmap is a single async <script> tag — paste it into any HTML pane and you're done. WordPress widgets/HTML blocks, Shopify theme-customizer Custom HTML, Wix HTML element, Webflow Embed component, Squarespace Code block, Ghost HTML card, Blogger HTML/JavaScript gadget — every platform that lets you paste HTML supports it. No plugins, no app store, no admin permissions needed.

Why the FeedPulse click heatmap is 100% free, forever
Every widget we offer is free forever. We absorb the API costs because our growth model is widget distribution: the small "via FeedPulse" attribution on each widget brings new site owners to us. Install the widget → we earn the impression. That's the entire business model. No paywall, no premium tier, no ads, no email harvesting, no signup wall.
Free Hotjar alternative — what you keep, what you drop
When evaluating a free Hotjar alternative, the question is which Hotjar features you actually rely on. Most teams use ~3 of Hotjar's modules: click heatmaps (which we ship for free), session recordings (we deliberately don't — recording every visitor crosses a privacy line), and feedback polls (we'll add a free polls widget separately). Hotjar does have a free tier of its own in 2026, so the real trade is different: theirs needs an account and installs a full recording platform on your site, while the FeedPulse free Hotjar alternative is a 4 KB script with no account, no email and no cookies. It covers the heatmap surface entirely — click heatmap, scroll heatmap (coming), per-page filtering, device segmenting (desktop vs mobile) and date-range comparison — and because we never record a session, there is nothing extra for a consent dialog to disclose.
Website click heatmap free — install, view, iterate
A website click heatmap free of quotas and report caps is the unlock for small sites with unpredictable traffic. Free and entry tiers elsewhere meter something: Crazy Egg's entry paid tier allows 5 heatmap reports and 5,000 pageviews, and session-based plans stop collecting once the monthly session limit is hit. The FeedPulse website click heatmap free tier meters nothing — we aggregate clicks into a binned heatmap instead of recording individual sessions, so storage stays bounded no matter how viral a page goes and no report counter runs down. Install the script tag once, let real traffic land, and the website click heatmap fills in page by page. Competitor tiers above reflect public pricing pages as of October 2026.
Embed heatmap website — invisible to visitors, observable to you
To embed heatmap website-wide, paste the script tag once in your site's <head> (WordPress theme header, Shopify theme.liquid, Webflow custom code, Ghost code injection, plain HTML <head>). To embed heatmap website pages selectively, paste it only in the pages you want tracked. The embed heatmap website snippet adds zero visible UI — visitors see nothing, perceive nothing, and the click recorder runs in a passive listener that never blocks rendering. The data flows to your dashboard at /tools/heatmap and renders as an overlay on a fresh screenshot of each page. Privacy-by-default: clicks are bucketed by 10-pixel cells so individual visitors stay anonymous.
Click heatmap — frequently asked questions
Does this widget slow down my page?
No. The widget JS is loaded asynchronously (<script async>) and weighs roughly 4-10 KB gzipped depending on the widget. Lighthouse Performance impact is typically < 1 point on mobile.
Is there really no signup or API key required?
Really. The script tag is the entire "install". You don't have an account, we don't track you as a customer, no API key, no email, no credit card.
Can I remove the "via FeedPulse" attribution?
The attribution is what keeps the service free. It's intentionally small and unobtrusive. If you remove it via DOM manipulation, our tamper-proof MutationObserver re-adds it.
Will this widget keep working long-term?
Yes. Our entire mission is to be the reliable, free, hosted replacement for the dozens of free widgets that have shut down in the last 10 years. We're funded by widget distribution itself, so longevity is aligned with our economics.
