Requires Opti-Behavior Pro. Session Recordings are a Pro module. View pricing or start the 6-month free trial.
Session Recordings are off until you enable them. This article shows how to turn recordings on and tune the capture settings.
Requirements #
- Plan: Opti-Behavior Pro
- Access to Opti-Behavior → Settings (capability
manage_options)
Steps #
- Go to WP Admin → Opti-Behavior → Settings → Session Recordings.
- Enable the Session Recordings toggle.
- Set Maximum recording duration. The value is in seconds and is clamped to the range 60–3600 (default 600 = 10 minutes). Sessions longer than this stop recording at the limit.
- Set the Sample rate if shown. This is the mouse-move sampling cadence (range 1–100, default 10); a lower number captures smoother cursor motion at the cost of larger recordings.
- Click Save Changes.
Controlling retention #
How long recordings are kept is governed by the Retention Period (1–730 days) under Settings → Storage Stats, plus the cleanup tools in the Danger Zone.
Expected result #
Within a few minutes of real visits, new sessions appear under Opti-Behavior → Recordings.
Troubleshooting #
- No recordings appear: confirm the toggle is on, that you are not the only visitor (admins can be excluded), and that a consent banner is not blocking tracking.
- Recordings cut short: raise the maximum duration.
FAQ #
Are admin users recorded? #
Only if admin tracking is enabled in settings; by default your own admin visits can be excluded.
