Learn how to diagnose and fix session recording gaps in Microsoft Clarity, from correcting CSP header blocks to optimizing script placement and masking attributes.
Learn how to gate Microsoft Clarity behind explicit user consent and apply masking rules to protect PII in session recordings and heatmaps.
A task guide to deploying Microsoft Clarity: prove the snippet is not blocked by CSP, choose masking granularity that keeps replays diagnosable, and verify a test session end to end.
Clarity snapshots the DOM, so plain-text account numbers and health data can leak into replays. Add element-level masking in your front-end code and verify in staging before opening access.
Learn how to spot and correct internal traffic inflation in Microsoft Clarity by checking IP filter settings, verifying format, waiting for data refresh, and using Live View to confirm the fix.
Untagged Clarity replays drown in traffic. Tag sessions by feature flag at load time to filter recordings, heatmaps and rage clicks to the cohort you actually changed.
Learn how to use Microsoft Clarity session replays and heatmaps to identify UX friction points like rage clicks and dead clicks that standard analytics miss.
A decision guide for enabling Microsoft Clarity session replay in production: compare replay vs. heatmaps, implement consent-gated loading with masking and SPA route tracking, and validate with a concrete checklist.
Learn how Microsoft Clarity uses DOM mutation recording to capture user sessions without the performance overhead of video, and how to implement PII masking for privacy.
