What is Hotjar?

Hotjar records sessions and draws heatmaps so teams can see how visitors actually use a page.

In the tech stack detector, Hotjar shows up in the Analytics group. Knowing a site runs Hotjar tells you how it is built and what it is set up to do.

How to detect Hotjar

Look for the static.hotjar.com loader and an hjid site id.

You do not have to dig through page source by hand. Paste the website into the detector above and it reports Hotjar along with the CMS, analytics, pixels, hosting, payments, chat, email, and CRM the site uses.

Why it matters for agencies

Knowing a prospect runs Hotjar (or does not) shapes your pitch. The detector also flags the gaps: if a site has no CRM, no chat widget, no review tool, or no ad pixel, that is a clear opening for a GoHighLevel CRM, an AI chat or voice agent, review automation, or a paid ads setup.
