Dead Click Tracking
Dead clicks are clicks that produce no response — no navigation, no state change, no feedback. FrictaSolv detects them automatically across every page, logs the affected element and URL, and helps you identify broken buttons, misaligned hit targets, and lost event listeners before users give up and leave.
A dead click happens when a user clicks or taps an element and nothing happens — no page change, no modal, no loading state, no visual feedback. From the user's perspective, the interface appears frozen or broken.
Dead clicks are a leading indicator of broken UI. They precede rage clicks, session abandonment, and support tickets. Standard analytics tools record the click but don't tell you it got no response. FrictaSolv does.
After each click event, FrictaSolv checks for DOM mutations, navigation events, and framework state changes within a 300ms window. If none are detected, the click is flagged as dead. No manual tagging needed.
01
SDK intercepts click via event delegation on document root
02
300ms observation window checks for DOM mutations and navigation
03
No response detected → logged with element selector, URL, and session context
Event listeners that were never attached, or removed by a re-render without being re-added
Divs or images styled with cursor:pointer but no click handler
Especially on mobile — visible element and actual clickable area don't match
An invisible element sits on top and absorbs clicks before they reach the target
Button rendered before JavaScript finishes hydrating — clicks during that window are lost
Button is disabled but not visually distinct — users click and see no response
