Most reputable tools include GDPR compliance features such as data anonymisation, consent management, PII masking and automatic deletion policies. However, compliance depends on your implementation and configuration. Tools like FullStory and Contentsquare offer enhanced compliance features including HIPAA certification for regulated industries.
Quality tools like Hotjar and Mouseflow are designed to have minimal impact, typically adding less than 50KB to initial page load. Modern implementations use asynchronous loading and are positioned low in page priority queues. Enterprise solutions may require more rigorous testing on high-traffic sites, but most vendors optimise for zero perceptible performance degradation.
