Error Click
ELI5 — The Vibe Check
An error click is a click that triggers an error (JS exception, network failure). Analytics tools flag them so you can find broken interactions without waiting for users to report them.
Real Talk
An error click is a user interaction that results in a JavaScript exception, failed network request, or other error condition. Session replay tools (FullStory, LogRocket, Sentry Replay) link error clicks to underlying exceptions for faster debugging. Aggregate error-click metrics surface broken interactions before users file tickets.
