Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Navlens

How do I get started with Navlens?

Start by signing up for an account, then install the tracking script on your website. Configure your first heatmap, and you'll begin collecting data immediately. Check our Installation Guide for step-by-step instructions.

How does A/B testing work?

Our visual A/B editor lets you make changes to your live site without code. You can create variants, set traffic distribution, and track conversion goals. Results are updated in real-time in your dashboard.

Is Navlens GDPR compliant?

Yes, Navlens is fully GDPR and CCPA compliant. We provide tools to obtain user consent, anonymize data, and allow users to opt-out of tracking. See our Privacy Policy and compliance documentation for details.

What's the performance impact of Navlens?

Our tracking script is only 20KB gzipped and has minimal performance impact. It's loaded asynchronously and uses event batching to reduce network overhead. Most sites see less than 1ms impact on page load.

Can I export heatmap data?

Yes, you can export heatmaps as high-resolution PNG images directly from the Heatmap Viewer. This is perfect for including visual data in your presentations and reports.

Can I track session recordings?

Yes, Navlens supports session recording and replay. You can watch actual user sessions to understand behavior patterns. All recordings respect privacy settings and GDPR requirements.

How long is data retained?

Free plans retain data for 30 days, while Pro and Enterprise plans offer 90 days and custom retention periods. You can download and archive data at any time.

Do you offer API access?
