What is Session Tracking?

Session tracking is the practice of grouping individual user interactions into sessions — discrete visits to your application — and recording metadata about each session such as duration, pages viewed, events triggered, and device information.

Session tracking gives you a higher-level view than individual events. Instead of looking at isolated clicks and pageviews, you can understand complete user journeys: where sessions start, what users accomplish, and where they end.

Advanced session tracking includes features like session replay (visual playback of what the user saw), frustration detection (identifying rage clicks and dead clicks), and session scoring (ranking sessions by engagement or error rate).
