      Attention heatmaps: combined time-on-area analysis
    
  
  
    Key Pages Analysis Framework:

      Top 3 findings (what users are doing vs what you want them to do)
      Identified friction points with severity rating (critical, moderate, minor)
      Recommended changes with expected impact on conversion
      Priority order for implementing changes
