Interpreting visitor behavior
We’re transitioning to a new UI, and are in the process of updating our Webflow University courses and videos.

Interpreting visitor behavior

Learn how to read, filter, and act on real behavior data using the Insights dashboard and on-canvas visual analytics.

Interpreting visitor behavior

Learn how to read, filter, and act on real behavior data using the Insights dashboard and on-canvas visual analytics.

Insights dashboard

Once tracking is enabled and your site is live, data begins populating in the Insights tab. This dashboard gives you a high-level view of how visitors are engaging with your site.

Site overview

Here’s what you can explore in the site overview:

Sessions, unique visitors, and bounce rate

Understand how much traffic you're getting and how much they’re engaging.

Site overview in the Insights dashboard showing sessions, unique visitors, bounce rate, and conversion rate.

Top pages and events

See which pages are attracting the most visits and which buttons, links, or navigation items are getting the most clicks.

Pages section of the Site overview page showing top pages and top events with view and interaction data.

Audience insights

Break data down by device, browser language, and location.

Audience charts in the Site overview page showing top countries, languages, devices, and browsers by session count.

Filter by device or date range

Filter by device to compare performance across screens, and use the date range (e.g. 7, 30, or 90 days) to spot trends over time. You can pick a custom date range by selecting dates on the calendar.

Page insights

Click into any page to get a more focused view of that page’s performance:

  • Page views and unique visitors
  • ounce rate for sessions starting on that page
  • Top 10 previous and next internal pages
  • Top clicked elements on that page

This helps you understand how users are flowing through your site — where they drop off, what draws clicks, and which paths they take.

Analyze mode: On-canvas visual analytics

Analyze Mode brings data directly into your site in Webflow so you can visualize engagement right on the canvas.

Here’s what you’ll see:

Clickmaps

See how many times each clickable element was clicked.

Clickmap view in Webflow Analyze showing click counts on elements of a specific page in Analyze mode.

Scroll ruler

Hover along the vertical ruler to see what percentage of users reached each part of the page.

Scroll ruler in Webflow Analyze showing that 59% of visitors scroll to this point on the page.
Tip: Hold Shift and hover the scroll ruler to see exactly what percentage of visitors made it to a specific section.

Average page fold

A horizontal line showing the typical point where a visitor’s screen ends when they first load the page. Think of this as your page’s “first impression.” 

Analyze mode showing the average page fold line at 877px to indicate how far users typically scroll on the page.

Gradient mode 

A heatmap view where red = most seen, blue = least seen.

Gradient mode in Webflow Analyze where red indicates most-seen content and blue indicates least-seen.

Take action

Whether you're reviewing metrics in the Insights dashboard or using Analyze Mode to see visual engagement on the canvas, the goal is the same: spot patterns, find opportunities, and take action.

Consider asking yourself:

  • Are visitors clicking where I expect them to click?
  • Is important content getting seen, or is it buried too low?
  • Do mobile visitors engage differently than desktop users?
  • Are users bouncing quickly, or progressing deeper into the site?

These insights can guide layout decisions, content placement, and design tweaks. You don’t have to guess what’s working — the data is right there in your workflow.

Got it down?

Now that you know how to explore visitor behavior, let’s focus on how to track specific actions that matter to your site’s success — like clicks on signup buttons or navigation links.
