questions before you switch hosts for Hotjar.
Does Hotjar's free tier work with this integration?
Yes. The integration only injects the script — it doesn't change Hotjar's pricing tier behavior. Free, Plus, Business, and Scale all work identically from the WordPress side.
Does Hotjar respect EU consent?
Yovale gates the Hotjar snippet behind the analytics consent signal. If the visitor declined analytics cookies, Hotjar doesn't render. Hotjar's own SDK has additional consent flags for finer control.
Will session recording capture passwords?
Hotjar masks form inputs by default and lets you configure additional masking. Yovale's injector doesn't change those defaults — set masking rules inside Hotjar.
Can I run Hotjar with Microsoft Clarity?
Yes. Many teams run Clarity (free, basic) for the bulk of recordings and Hotjar (paid) for surveys and funnels. Both ship from the same Yovale tracking panel.
Will the page cache strip Hotjar?
No. The snippet is part of the cached HTML. Recording and heatmap collection happen client-side and aren't affected by edge caching.
