Free Session Replay Detector

Is your website secretly recording your customers? Enter your domain. This precision replay tracking checker exposes javascript silently capturing mouse movements and typing.

How Our Detection Logic Illuminates Hidden Trackers

Recognizing a benign tracking cookie is simple. Recognizing a behavioral recording script is incredibly complex. A session replay detector cannot simply look at the file name. Clever marketing agencies routinely disguise incredibly invasive recording functionality inside generic sounding javascript files.

Our intelligence engine scans the page source for signatures of known session replay providers like Hotjar, FullStory, LogRocket, Microsoft Clarity, Lucky Orange, and Crazy Egg. It checks for script references, inline initialization patterns, and domain connections associated with behavioral recording infrastructure.

The Catastrophic Legal Risks

We built this specific scanner because the legal landscape regarding website recording shifted radically overnight. If our scanner detects a replay tracking checker failure on your live website, you face three primary dimensions of extreme legal risk.

  • Federal Wiretapping Class Actions: Because these scripts inherently intercept communication streams between a human user and a server in real time, plaintiff attorneys are aggressively and successfully suing businesses under strict anti wiretapping statutes originally written to prevent phone tapping.
  • Involuntary Data Breaches: Identifying a recording mechanism often exposes a terrifying reality. Unless your engineers manually configured the script to block password fields and social security inputs, the script is secretly storing everything your consumers type in plain text on a distant third party server.
  • Regulatory GDPR Annihilation: European privacy regulators consider session replays representing the absolute maximum pinnacle of digital surveillance. Deploying these tools without explicit, incredibly transparent opt-in consent guarantees immediate regulatory devastation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a replay tracking checker fundamentally different from a standard cookie tool?+
Standard scanners look for tiny text files stored statically on a browser. A replay tracking checker is a living diagnostic environment searching for complicated mathematical Javascript payloads transmitting live video simulations.
Can a session replay detector identify tools like Hotjar or FullStory?+
Yes. The scanner identifies both the obvious commercial signatures of popular products and the disguised custom behaviors developed internally by enterprise tracking syndicates.
Is this tool effective against mobile applications?+
This specific web facing system strictly diagnoses web architectures. However, the same terrifying wiretapping laws apply aggressively to mobile app developers improperly utilizing similar screen recording SDKs.
If the detector finds a script, what is the immediate required action?+
You must treat the discovery as an active, burning technical emergency. Instantly pause the script from firing via your tag manager until your legal team completes a thorough compliance review regarding consumer consent.
Does the Global Privacy Control apply to these recording tools?+
Absolutely. When a browser arrives aggressively broadcasting the GPC signal, your server must interpret that legally as a direct command preventing any recording script from establishing a surveillance session on that specific user.
