Dead click
A dead click is a click or tap that does not produce a meaningful response in the page — no navigation, no visible state change, no control firing. It is quieter than a rage click but often points to the same class of problem: the UI suggested that something was interactive.
Why it matters
Dead clicks help you find misleading chrome: text that looks like a link, disabled buttons without explanation, or hit targets covered by another element.
Replayly can filter sessions that include dead clicks so you are not only watching happy paths. Always confirm in the player; a 'dead' click might also be a delayed response that eventually arrived.
Fixing dead clicks is usually a design or front-end task. Use the recording as evidence, then test the fix with a new session. See the session replay feature page for filters and the player.
