See how visitors use your WordPress website. Replay eligible signed-out visits, including pages, clicks and scrolling, inside your dashboard.
Recordings stay in WordPress, never sent to ClickClue or external analytics. Free needs no account or licence key.
What you can do with ClickClue Free
- Replay visitor sessions: use playback controls and jump to click markers or grouped scroll events.
- Find useful visits: filter by page, device, date, watched status or bookmark; save filters.
- Save evidence: bookmark recordings and add review notes.
- Manage recordings together: select visits to bookmark, mark watched or delete; preview cleanup of recordings lasting 5 seconds or less. Recent uploads and bookmarks stay protected from short-recording cleanup.
- Control visitor recording: choose the mode, sampling, retention and storage budget.
- Protect sensitive content: use form-text masking, exclusions, private regions and optional all-text masking.
Investigate navigation, scrolling and routes to forms. Replay cannot establish why someone left.
No trial expiry or monthly quota. Hosting, privacy choices and capture limits apply.
Three ways to start recording
New installs start paused with no mode preselected:
- Ask with ClickClue's banner: show the built-in replay prompt. Requires a published privacy policy selected in WordPress.
- Use my existing consent banner: wait for permission from a banner connected to ClickClue's local consent API. Installing another banner alone does not connect it.
- Record without asking first: start eligible visits under the site owner's chosen policy. This is not a visitor consent decision.
Setup also asks where visitors can stop recording and whether to use unlimited plugin storage or your own budget. The floating privacy button stays off unless chosen; your own footer/menu or connected control is equally available.
Save & enable recording enables your chosen mode. Refusals, opt-outs, Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control apply in every mode. Settings alone do not establish legal compliance.
Optional ClickClue Pro add-on
Pro is a separate paid add-on for heatmaps, grouped clues, structural form insights, journeys, comparisons, feedback and team tools. Free works independently. Pro feedback/order integrations require visitor consent.

- Install and activate ClickClue from Plugins > Add New, or upload the clickclue ZIP.
- Choose a mode and review privacy/storage settings. For the built-in banner, select a published policy under Settings > Privacy. Existing-banner integration is explained in Help.
- Select Save & enable recording. Setup saves 100% sampling until you change it; earlier steps do not enable recording.
- Clear page/CDN caches. Open the test link in a signed-out private window, follow your chosen mode, then click and scroll.
- Check your test replay and masking. Set your intended sampling rate afterward, or pause recording.
Activate per site; no network activation.
Updating to 1.2.6
- Back up your site. Update ClickClue Free first, then the matching Pro add-on if installed, without uninstalling. Pro 1.2.6 requires Free 1.2.6. Reload open admin tabs after updating.
- Clear page/CDN caches so visitors receive the current recorder. Existing recordings, settings and licence state are preserved; an upgrade does not choose a new recording mode for you.
- Review Settings > Recording & privacy. Cart and checkout are excluded by default. Deliberately including them requires Mask all page text. Confirm where visitors can stop recording: the optional floating button, your footer/menu link or a connected privacy control.
- Review Storage & retention. Keep your existing budget or explicitly choose unlimited plugin storage. Hosting capacity still applies. Retention 0 means manual deletion.
- Use Test a recording in a signed-out private window. Confirm an upload, watch the replay, check masking, and test stopping and deleting the current session. Restore your intended sampling rate after the test.
Public design asset capture stays off on upgrades until explicitly enabled. Enable it in Settings if you want eligible public images, fonts and design assets saved for new recordings. Keep all-text masking enabled if that is your intended policy.
Legacy recordings that cannot reliably distinguish every form-text change have all page text masked. Version 1.2.4 also filters saved CSS before replay and cleans older stored CSS in bounded background batches through WP-Cron and admin visits. Clicks, scrolling, notes and bookmarks remain. Backups and exported copies are not rewritten.
1.2.6
Update Free first, then matched Pro without uninstalling. Clear page caches and reload open admin tabs. Existing recordings, settings and licence state remain. Test a new signed-out visit; earlier recordings cannot recover interactions that were never captured.
1.2.5
Update Free first, then matched Pro without uninstalling. Reload open admin tabs and clear page caches. Existing recordings, settings and licence state remain. Settings saves now require the revision supplied by GET /settings; reload old forms before saving.
1.2.4
Privacy and admission hardening. Update Free, then matched Pro without uninstalling. Cart and checkout now require an explicit masked-recording choice. Review visitor controls, clear caches and test a signed-out visit. Saved recordings remain; exports and backups need separate review.
1.2.3
Recording management improvements. Update Free first, then the matching Pro add-on without uninstalling. Cleanup is manual and requires a preview and confirmation.
1.2.2
The floating Replay privacy button is now off unless enabled in Settings. Use the switch or a #clickclue-privacy footer/menu link to offer the controls. Existing recording modes and saved visits remain. Clear page caches after updating.
1.2.1
Fix replay timing and reduce unnecessary recording requests. Clear page caches after replacing the plugin. A host rate limit can still block uploads; Test this visit now identifies HTTP 429. Saved recordings and settings remain in place.
1.2.0
Improved visual replay and long-visit playback. Existing settings remain. Enable public design asset capture if desired, clear caches and verify a signed-out replay. Keep Free 1.2.0 or newer for new replay assets and large recordings.
1.1.12
Fix large-page recording failures and clarify attempts versus saved replays. Update Free, clear page/CDN caches, then run a signed-out test. Earlier stored recordings remain available. Keep 1.1.12 or newer to replay newly compressed styles correctly.
1.1.11
Privacy fix for form text in capture, storage and replay. Older page text is masked; clicks, notes and bookmarks remain. Stored cleanup runs in batches. Backups/exports are not rewritten. Clear page/CDN caches.
