What’s New in Session Replay?

The latest updates to our Session Replay player introduce several powerful features tailored to amplify your analysis and troubleshooting capabilities.

Visual Markers for Key Events

Revolutionize the way you analyze user sessions. Our new error markers highlight JavaScript errors directly on the timeline slider in bold red, so you can instantly spot where things went wrong.

The addition of Core Web Vitals indicators pinpoints performance drawbacks like:

• Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Events where LCP struggles are marked with orange indicators on the replay timeline.
• Interaction to Next Paint (INP): A dedicated icon highlights moments where interaction bottlenecks occurred. 

This lets you target critical issues with precision. 

Smart Issue Aggregation 

Dealing with multiple performance issues at the same time? A smart count badge now aggregates all events at a single timestamp, allowing you to hover over the marker for a consolidated view. No more sifting through scattered data points! 

Filtered Views for Targeted Analysis

Cut through the noise with advanced filtering options. You can now toggle specific visual markers on or off, fine-tuning your analysis to focus solely on the most relevant performance and error events. 

Active Sessions Indicator
