What’s Your Rage Grade?

FullStory review

FullStory’s “Rage Grade” metric intelligently combines rage, error, and dead clicks, abandoned forms, and mouse-thrashing movements to accurately detect user frustration. The grade – on an A-B-C grading scale reminiscent of your school days – is a benchmark of your frustration score against other companies in your industry, so you know whether you’re the head of the class or falling behind.

Here’s the best part. You can find your Rage Grade for free and then find out whether you are rocking an A – no user frustration there – or more of a C – proving that there’s some friction that could be driving users crazy.

Regardless of the grade, you gain insight into what problems users are encountering and learn how to solve them so your app will blow users away. The report will detail top most frustrated sessions, so you can instantly watch and understand what’s dragging down your customer experience — in pixel-perfect detail.

FullStory review

The most common types of frustration from users come from clicks that shouldn’t really happen — “rage clicks”. We’ve all been in that position, tapping the mouse repeatedly when something doesn’t work the way you expect! Then there are other frustrations as well such as abandoned forms or elements that just don’t work. The solution is FullStory.

FullStory aims to make the internet a better, more usable place by allowing web teams to play back real customer visits to their site. When you see your site through your users’ eyes, it’s easy to spot frustrating web design, broken code, or new features your customers would love to see.

The FullStory platform captures and indexes every event – from mouse movements to frustrated rage clicks – during a user’s visit. That means you can answer any question about your customers and how they use your site.

FullStory records your page actions; plus, what you see during playback renders beautifully on every screen and is fully inspectable. As you watch a session play back, you can make notes on different interactions, save a session as one to review later with your team, or share it with another team member for them to review.

As an added bonus, FullStory integrates with plenty of common apps and services, including Zendesk, Trello, Slack, Intercom, HipChat, Magento, Shopify, Squarespace, WordPress + WooCommerce Plugin and more.
