A simple website user-interaction tracker.
A simple, light-weight (< 5KB minified), no dependency, front-end website interaction tracker., (*1)
Collects usage data and submits it to a user-defined server endpoint on the beforeunload event., (*2)
Great for creating a database to drive analytics, inform A/B testing, and guide other site optimization decisions., (*3)
This data can help you analyze: * How your users navigate your website * Engagement levels on a per-page and site-wide basis * What platforms, language settings, and browser dimensions your users have * Bounce rates, page and site bottle-necks, impressions, and conversions, (*4)
Documentation is currently being written. There's a working (front-end) example of Interactor. To explore it, open up your browsers' console and click on the interaction and conversion buttons., (*5)
Interactor currently supports modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, & Safari. Additional testing & input is welcome., (*6)
General Data:, (*7)
Interaction / Conversion Data:, (*8)
Include the script in your HTML and invoke it., (*9)

To track a users interactions with an element, simply add the 'interaction' CSS class to the element., (*10)
Have a conversion point on your page? You can add that too, just add the 'conversion' CSS class to your conversion's HTML element., (*11)
Want to track a user's interactions and/or conversions with different element classes already on your page? Create multiple instances and allow each to target a specific element to track. No update to your HTML neccessary!, (*12)
Example:, (*13)
var elementsToTrack = [
{
element: "element1",
events : ["mouseup", "touchend"]
},
{
element: "element2",
events : ["mouseup"]
},
{
element: "element3",
events : ["mouseup"]
}
];
for (var i = 0; i < elementsToTrack.length; i++) {
var e = elementsToTrack[i];
new Interactor({
interactionElement : e.element,
interactionEvents : e.events
});
}
{
interactions : true,
interactionElement : 'interaction',
interactionEvents : ['mouseup', 'touchend'],
conversions : false,
conversionElement : 'conversion',
conversionEvents : ['mouseup', 'touchend'],
endpoint : '/interactions',
async : true,
debug : true
}
Contributions are welcome!, (*14)
Next up: addition of Web Socket mode., (*15)
