Frequently asked questions
Can Hotjar detect a dead pixel?
No. Hotjar doesn't monitor conversion tags. It captures user behavior (clicks, scroll, feedback) but doesn't know whether your Meta or GA4 pixel is working.
Which tool should you start with?
If your priority is protecting your ad-driven revenue, start with Korvus. If you want to understand why your visitors aren't converting, start with Hotjar. The two are complementary and inexpensive.
