Rage clicks
Rage clicks
Find the buttons and links people hammer because they look broken, with no positions and no visitor IDs.
Try it
Click this button three times quickly
This button deliberately does nothing.
- Nothing yet.
Interact with the demo above.How it works
- A rage click is 3 or more mouse or touch clicks on one control within 1 second.
- At most one burst per control every 5 seconds, and 20 a minute per page load.
- Keyboard activation never counts (holding Enter repeats clicks without frustration).
- The burst is an extra action event flagged
rage: true, sent in its own request, so a backend that does not know it rejects only the burst. - Stored: a count per minute, page and control. No visitor, session or position, so the report cannot say how many different people raged.
Read a burst as a prompt to look, not a verdict: a stepper button pressed repeatedly looks the same as frustration.
