Build with OwlEye
Facts reviewed:
Owleye Analytics shows where visitors drop off in a measured funnel, so you can choose what to investigate next. Install page analytics and the optional rules module once, add supported click, form-submit and section-visible events from your dashboard, then build a funnel to find the step that needs attention.
Begin with the quickstart. Rules need stable selectors; new tracker starts and page loads pick up saved changes. A submit event records an attempt, so send an explicit application event to confirm a completed signup.
Start with a Tracking ID from your app in the OwlEye console. The browser SDK connects to the hosted service automatically. You do not need an API key or a server URL for browser tracking.

The SDK writes no cookies, local storage, or session storage. Arbitrary query parameters and URL fragments are excluded by default; SDK 1.0.3 automatically captures bounded campaign tags. Review the privacy and lifecycle controls before installing it.
