Stay Heatmap

Visualizes how long users stay on each block in the page. Long stay = high user interest — useful for identifying which areas attract attention.


What this heatmap can tell you

  • Which blocks attract user attention

  • Which blocks get skipped

  • Whether important content gets the attention it deserves

Prerequisite: Stay Heatmap requires block setup on the target page.


Two display modes

Switch display modes using the dropdown menu in the upper left of the heatmap. The default is Attention. We recommend starting with Attention to grasp overall focus distribution intuitively, then switching to Block Stay to dig into block-level data.

Mode
Characteristics
When to use

Attention (default)

Pixel-level attention distribution as a thermograph (color shading)

When you want to know exactly where the gaze concentrates

Block Stay

Average stay time (in seconds) per block

When you want a rough sense of which sections are popular


Attention mode (color display)

Relatively evaluates user stay time and visualizes it via color shading.

Color
Meaning

Red

Areas where users stayed longest

Blue

Areas with low user attention

Transparent

Stay time near zero

Three rules of attention coloring

  1. The middle of the screen turns reddest — gaze concentrates here

  2. Where users stop scrolling, overlap turns red — many users stopping in the same place deepens the color

  3. Long-stopped positions turn red — the longer a position is viewed, the redder it becomes


Block Stay mode (numerical display)

Displays the average stay time (in seconds) per block (section).

  • Each block shows its stay time prominently

  • The right-side panel lists all blocks with their impression rates

Block detail view

Click any block on the heatmap to see a popup with detailed data:

  • Display rate

  • Average stay time

  • Exit count

  • Conversion count

Right-side data table

The right-side panel shows the full list of blocks on the page.

Metric
Description

Block name

Click to scroll the heatmap to the corresponding location

Display rate

% of PVs where this block was displayed

Average stay time

Average stay time of users who saw this block. Longer = higher interest

About sort order: The block list is sorted by page position (block top edge from top) by default. Click any column header to re-sort by that metric.


Metrics used

Metric
Definition
Formula

Block Average Stay Time

Average time the block was visible in the viewport (seconds). Indicates how long users viewed the block.

Sum of in-viewport time ÷ impression count

Impression Rate

% of PVs that scrolled to display this block

PVs reaching block top ÷ total PVs

For detailed formulas, see Metrics Reference.


Analysis tips

Long stay ≠ always positive

There are 2 possible reasons for long stay:

  • Positive: Users are interested and reading carefully

  • Negative: Content is unclear and takes time to understand

The key is to combine with Exit Heatmap to disambiguate.

Pattern
Stay time
Exit rate
Interpretation

High interest

Long

Low

Users are satisfied and move to the next block

Hesitation

Long

High

Users read but it didn't meet expectations

Skim

Short

Low

Not interested, moving on with anticipation

Immediate exit

Short

High

Lost interest at first sight, exited

Checkpoints

  • Are key pieces of content (value props, CTAs) getting enough attention?

  • Are attended pieces buried below the fold?

  • If the page is overall pale-colored, content might lack appeal

  • Areas with sharp color jumps (red→green→red) indicate fluctuating reading intent
