Click the preview icon on the survey creation page to view the questionnaire the way respondents see it.

No, you can't add website links to the task. To see where users click on a live website, we recommend that you use Yandex.Metrica and the click map.

Our service is suitable for testing projects at the prototype stage – when you have the design, but aren't sure whether to implement it. This is a great chance to see how users will behave, notice interface errors, and fix them without affecting real users.

• The click map (heat map) displays all user clicks.

• The first click map displays where users clicked first.

• Time that users spent on completing each step and the entire task.

If the map has bright spots only in places users were supposed to click, everything is fine.

If you see bright spots on the interface elements not related to the task, it means that something isn't working correctly. Why do users click there? Perhaps the icon is unclear or the button functions are not obvious. To fix this, you need to change the design.

The faster a user completes the task correctly, the better. Since each interface is different, we recommend that you determine how much time is acceptable for completing the task in advance. For example, you can use the time users previously spent on a task as a benchmark and aim to reduce it when redesigning or making small changes in the interface.

Another option is to test two different interface designs, and choose the one in which users complete tasks faster and more accurately. Numerical values on the click map can help you determine how many more users click the desired area in one prototype than in another.

Also note which step takes the most time to complete. Perhaps this step requires more engagement and thought, or it is the bottleneck of the interface. Users usually spend the most time on the first step because they see the site for the first time and study it. This is normal.
