Zone Revisit Analysis

Zone Revisit Analysis is a powerful tool that helps you understand how visitors interact with your website by tracking where they scroll back to (revisit) on your web pages. It divides your page into zones (sections) and measures how frequently visitors return to each zone, giving you insights into which parts of your content are most engaging or potentially confusing.

Why This Matters

Understanding how visitors revisit different parts of your page helps you:

  • Identify valuable content that captures visitor attention
  • Spot confusing sections where visitors need to re-read information
  • Optimize your page layout based on actual visitor behavior
  • Improve navigation between related content sections
  • Create better experiences across different devices

Accessing the Zone Revisit Analysis

  1. Navigate to the "Page Analysis" section in the page interactions menu
  2. Scroll down to find the "Zone Revisit " section

Using the Chart: Step-by-Step Guide

1. Choose Your Date Range

Find the dropdown menu labeled "Date Range" at the top of the chart. This allows you to filter data by time period.


2. Select a Device Type

The "Device" dropdown lets you filter traffic by the type of device visitors used:

  • All devices (combines all traffic)
  • Desktop (only computer traffic)
  • Mobile (only smartphone traffic)
  • Tablet (only tablet traffic)

This helps you understand if scrolling behavior differs between devices.


3. Choose a Specific Page or All Pages

The "URL" or "Page" dropdown allows you to:

  • View revisit data for all pages on your site (default)
  • Select a specific page to analyze just that page's visitor behavior

4. Reading the Chart

The Zone Revisit chart shows:

  • X-axis (horizontal): Scroll zones from 0% (top of page) to 100% (bottom of page)
  • Y-axis (vertical): Revisit frequency as a percentage
  • Colored bars: Each device type has its own color (mobile, desktop, tablet)

Understanding the Data:

  • Taller bars mean that zone is revisited more frequently
  • Multiple colored bars in one zone show how behavior differs by device
  • Patterns across zones can reveal navigation paths (visitors scrolling between related sections)

Getting AI-Powered Analysis

For deeper insights, you can use the AI Analysis feature:

  1. Set your filters (date range, device, and page) as described above
  2. Click the "Generate AI Analysis" button
  3. Wait a few moments while the system processes your data
  4. Review the comprehensive analysis report

Reading the AI Analysis Report

The AI Analysis report is divided into several sections:

1. Executive Summary

A high-level overview of the most important findings and opportunities for improvement.


2. High-Value Content Identification

This section identifies zones with high revisit rates, explaining:

  • Which specific content attracts repeat viewing
  • Why visitors find this content valuable
  • How to enhance this valuable content further

3. Confusion Point Analysis

This highlights areas where visitors may be confused or struggling:

  • Which zones show patterns of confusion
  • What elements might be causing issues
  • Specific recommendations to improve clarity

4. Navigation Pattern Analysis

This examines how visitors move between different zones:

  • Common navigation paths between sections
  • Challenges in the current navigation flow
  • Suggestions to improve connections between related content

5. Comparison Behavior Analysis

This looks at how visitors compare information across zones:

  • Which zones visitors frequently switch between
  • What content they're likely comparing
  • How to better support comparison tasks

6. Content Relationship Optimization

This identifies connections between content sections:

  • Related zones that should work together
  • How well these connections currently function
  • Ways to strengthen these relationships

7. Device-Specific Revisit Patterns

This highlights differences in behavior across devices:

  • How mobile users interact differently from desktop users
  • Device-specific issues that need addressing
  • Adaptations to improve experience on each device type

8. Prioritized Recommendations

A ranked list of specific actions to take:

  • What exactly to change (with specific wording suggestions)
  • Which zones will be affected
  • The expected impact of each change
  • Implementation details

9. Information Architecture Strategy

Broader strategic recommendations for your overall page structure:

  • Current information architecture assessment
  • Identified structural issues
  • Step-by-step implementation plan

How to Apply This Information

For Content Creators:

  1. Identify your most valuable content - Zones with high revisit rates contain information your visitors find important
  2. Clarify confusing sections - Rewrite content in zones where revisit patterns suggest confusion
  3. Improve headings and subheadings - Use the AI recommendations for more effective headlines
  4. Enhance calls-to-action - Pay attention to suggested wording improvements for buttons and links

For Web Designers:

  1. Optimize layout - Consider repositioning elements based on zone relationship insights
  2. Improve navigation - Strengthen connections between frequently compared zones
  3. Address device-specific issues - Make targeted improvements for mobile or desktop experiences
  4. Implement information architecture changes - Follow the strategic recommendations for structure

Tips for Getting the Most Value

  1. Compare different time periods - Look for changes in behavior over time
  2. Look at device differences - Mobile users often have different needs than desktop users
  3. Focus on high-impact recommendations first - Start with changes that have the highest expected impact
  4. Re-analyze after making changes - See how user behavior shifts after your improvements
