Hotjar will allow you to understand the user behavior on your site as well as its strengths and weaknesses.
"A powerful tool to understand your users, but not for beginners"
I've integrated Hotjar on several web projects to better understand visitor behavior, and the heatmaps and session recordings are frankly revealing. You can very quickly see where users get stuck, what they ignore, and that allows you to make really concrete UX optimization decisions rather than relying on instinct. The funnels and built-in surveys are also a good complement to go further in the analysis. Where it gets more complicated is pricing: the free plan is okay to start, but as soon as traffic rises or you want access to advanced features, the bill climbs fairly quickly and can become hard to justify for a small outfit, particularly for me who use it only for small personal projects. Luckily Secret is there hihi ! The interface is overall clean but some settings lack a bit of clarity. That said, for anyone working seriously on optimizing their site or conversion funnel, Hotjar remains one of the most insightful tools on the market. An investment that pays off quickly if you actually use it!
