Wix Analytics: Adding and Setting Up Session Recordings

Record and review real visitor sessions on your site using Session Recordings in Wix Analytics. By understanding exactly how visitors interact with your site, you can identify areas for improvement and enhance the user experience.

Focus on the use-cases that interest you the most by defining which sessions to record, filter, and analyze. For example, if you notice that visitors frequently abandon their carts on a specific page, you can review their session recordings to pinpoint the issue.

FAQs

Click a question below to learn more about session recordings.

How can I see how many recordings I have left?

You can see how many monthly recordings you have left at the top right of the Session Recordings page. Once you reach your monthly limit, it will stop recording sessions.

How long are recordings saved for?

Recorded sessions are saved for up to 36 months.

I'm already using the Twipla app. Do I still need to purchase a plan?

Yes. Session Recordings is a separate app, so even if you are already using the Twipla app that you installed from the Wix App Market, you still need to select a plan to access the Session Recordings page.

Why is the number of recordings I have different than the number of sessions on my site?

This may be due to several reasons:

  • Site visitors may refuse to record their sessions due to privacy concerns, usage of private browsers, or refusal to consent to cookies.

  • You may have reached your limit of session recordings. To record more, upgrade your Twipla plan.

  • If you chose a time frame (e.g. the last 90 days) and installed Session Recordings sometime during this period, you only see recordings from that point onwards.

I'm having issues with Session Recordings.

To troubleshoot any issues you're having with Session Recordings, please contact Twipla's support at support@twipla.com or by clicking the blue button at the bottom right corner of the Session Recordings page.
