Our picks

Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

Best free analytics tool
Free.

The industry standard for tracking website traffic, user behaviour, and goal completions. GA4 tracks form submissions, WhatsApp button clicks, page views, and user flow.

+100% free
+Tracks custom events (WhatsApp clicks, form fills)
+Shows user flow - where visitors go before converting
+Integrates with Google Search Console and Google Ads

Verdict: Essential. Every business website should have GA4 installed from day one.

Microsoft Clarity

Best free heatmap and session recording tool
Free.

Free heatmap and session recording tool from Microsoft. Shows exactly where visitors click, how far they scroll, and where they get confused or frustrated.

+100% free - no limits on recordings or sessions
+Heatmaps show where visitors click vs. where you want them to click
+Session recordings replay real visitor sessions
+Frustration signals flag rage-clicks and dead clicks

Verdict: Install this alongside GA4. The session recordings are eye-opening - you'll immediately see what's confusing visitors.

Google Search Console

Best for understanding SEO performance
Free.

Shows you exactly which search queries bring visitors to your site, your average ranking position, and which pages get the most clicks from Google.

+100% free
+Shows which keywords you rank for
+Identifies pages with high impressions but low clicks (low-hanging fruit)
+Alerts you to technical issues that hurt rankings

Verdict: Essential for any business trying to rank on Google. Connects directly to GA4 for combined insights.

Google PageSpeed Insights

Best for diagnosing speed problems
Free.

Google's free tool that tests your website's load speed and Core Web Vitals score - the metrics Google uses for ranking. Shows exactly what's slowing your site down.

+Free
+Tests both mobile and desktop speed separately
+Specific recommendations for what to fix
+Shows the score Google actually uses for ranking

Verdict: Run this on your website right now. If your mobile score is below 70, your conversions are suffering.

Hotjar

Best paid heatmap tool for growing businesses
Free plan (35 sessions/day). Paid from ~Rs. 2,500/month.

More feature-rich than Clarity, Hotjar offers heatmaps, session recordings, surveys, and funnel analysis. The paid plans unlock user feedback tools that help you understand why visitors convert or don't.

+Funnel analysis - see exactly where visitors drop off in a multi-step process
+On-site surveys - ask visitors directly why they're leaving
+Conversion analysis features in paid plans

Verdict: The free plan is genuinely useful. Upgrade if you're running serious conversion optimisation.

Bottom line

Start with the three free tools: GA4, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Search Console. Together, they tell you how many people are finding you, what they do on your site, and where they drop off. That's everything you need to start improving.
