Heatmaps are a powerful way of visualizing how your users interact with a page. They offer more insights that are not as accessible from other analytical tools. UX designers, product managers, and marketing teams can all take advantage of the kinds of deep insights that heatmaps have to offer.
Types of heatmaps
In fact, there are several different types of heatmaps: click maps, scroll maps, and heat maps over time. All three kinds provide unique information that’s extremely useful for understanding patterns of user behavior.
Click maps
Click maps in particular show you how users are clicking throughout a page. They highlight which elements of a page are most to least popular, which allows you to quickly identify trends across all your various visitors.

Scroll maps
Scroll maps on the other hand show you where users are scrolling throughout the page. It shows how many users scrolled to a certain extent of the page, and how many made it to the bottom of the page.
