Crazy Egg has finally opened its doors to the public after what feels like a long closed beta session. I had the good fortune to unofficially test the product probably 3 or 4 months back now and was impressed by service as a whole though, at the time, performance was less than real time. For those that don’t know, Crazy Egg offers some great usability testing of your site, allowing you to see how people react to different layouts and styles for example. By monitoring people’s interactions with your site, it logs statistics on hotspots that can be displayed on great looking heat maps helping you to analise the usage of your site. Previously this sort of testing and monitoring would consume large resources or be sourced out to independent usablilty specialists but now can be implemented very quickly and easily by dropping in some JavaScript into your (x)html.
