# What is Rage Click?

Repeated rapid clicks on the same element, indicating user frustration with an unresponsive interface.

A rage click is detected when a user clicks the same element (or nearby area) multiple times in rapid succession — typically 3 or more clicks within a short time window. This pattern strongly indicates frustration: the user expected something to happen, and it didn't.

Rage clicks often reveal broken buttons, slow-loading interactions, confusing UX elements that look clickable but aren't, or JavaScript errors that prevent click handlers from firing.

Tracking rage clicks automatically surfaces usability issues that users might not report. Combined with session replay, you can watch exactly what the user experienced and fix the root cause.

## Example

Your analytics flags 47 rage click events on the 'Submit' button in the checkout flow. Watching session replays reveals that the button's click handler fails silently when the address field is empty — users click repeatedly not realizing they missed a required field.
