@Lasse Schou: Thanks Lasse for the useful info, I couldn't do a better job. I'm sure @gerorge could use it.

@gerorge: Hi, if your website is running SSL, all data transmitted to Mouseflow is also encrypted. You can even adjust the php proxy script so that it sends data to https://... instead of http://.

If you’re not using SSL then all data is transmitted unencrypted across the network, including the compressed mouseflow data.

If you want more information about Mouseflow security, feel free to post specific questions.

Fantastic article. I have just install mouseflow. I was between mouseflow and clicktale but the price was the main reason i choose mouseflow. My main concern is security. I have install also the proxy.php file in order to track shopping cart etc. How secure is this? Any ideas?

@Paul Olyslager: After reading your blog post and asking my previous question, I installed the free Picnet and in a couple of months I will be moving on to Mouseflow (which is subscription based). I even compare Mouseflow to Clicktales and I think Mouseflow provide more bang for less money.

@Owen McGab Enaohwo: Hi Owen and thank you for the reply. When I was doing the research for this article I had to know what Crazy Egg was all about in order to form a better opinion. I have to say that Crazy Egg is a very good heatmap system, but nothing more, noting less. For a paying alternative I would recommend Mouseflow because it gives you much more than a heatmap system. The live streaming is a very nice feature but it also provides you with plenty of statistics and a scroll heatmap. Don’t forget to retweet this article to get 500 free recordings .

As for a free alternative, I would go with clickdensity. It is similar to Crazy Egg but doesn’t have the nice interface.

I hope this will satisfy your question. If not, just ask!
