Error tracking

Find the errors your visitors run into

Error tracking collects JavaScript errors, failed network requests and missing pages from recorded visits. Every error links to the visits it affected, so you can replay what the visitor saw.

  • Group matching errors and see how many visits and pages each one affects
  • Filter by error type, page, browser, device and date
  • Mark issues as resolved and choose who gets error emails

What it does

Fix what visitors actually hit

Visitors rarely report a broken page, they just leave. Grouped errors show how many visits and pages each problem touches, and the linked visit shows what it looked like.

Error tracking records problems that visitors hit in the browser: JavaScript errors, failed network requests and missing pages. Grouping them shows which problems affect the most visits.

Errors come from recorded visits

Error tracking works on recorded visits. A visit that was not recorded does not appear here, so counts describe the sample you record.

Recording stays off until you turn it on for a website, and each site records a daily sample of visits.
