Feature spotlight: How Noibu’s Session Replay turns hidden friction into ecommerce growth

Noibu session replay
Turning hidden user frustration into six-figure revenue wins—with clarity, speed, and confidence. 

TL;DR:

  • Silent friction—like checkout errors, form drop-offs, and UX confusionkills conversions.
  • Noibu’s Session Replay captures 100% of real sessions with developer-ready diagnostics.
  • Top brands like Converse, David’s Bridal, Aeroflow Health, and Hobbycraft recover hidden revenue daily.
  • AI-powered search and ecommerce-specific signals surface errors traditional tools miss.
  • Noibu turns friction into fixes—and fixes into measurable ecommerce growth.

The problem: Silent friction is killing conversions

In ecommerce, every click has a dollar value. But most brands don’t know what’s breaking their buyer journey until it’s too late:

  • 50% of users abandon purchases due to poor digital experiences
  • 90% never report issues
  • 32% will stop doing business with you entirely

Most ecommerce teams rely on error logs, customer support tickets or bounce rates to detect problems—but these only surface the obvious. Silent friction—like payment hiccups, form drop-offs, and confusing UX—slips through the cracks

And your revenue slips with it.

The gap: Why traditional tools fall short

Traditional observability tools show bounce rates, page speed, and traffic flow—but they can’t explain what the user actually experienced. On the flip side, VOC tools like Hotjar and Qualtrics give you subjective feedback, but lack the technical traceability developers need.

  • Web analytics tell you what changed—not why
  • Error monitoring flags code-level issues—but lacks user context
  • VOC tools offer feedback—but not technical traceability

The result? Vague tickets, missed insights, and slower fixes, with conversion losses piling up.

“There are a lot of tools that can sessions. But how does Noibu go beyond? Showcasing the different points of friction throughout the session… being able to see all the issues that could potentially manifest in a negative way—that is what sets it apart.”
— Chelsea Alverson, Senior Product Owner, Aeroflow Health

The solution: Noibu’s Session Replay

Noibu’s Session Replay bridges the gap between user frustration and developer action.

What sets Noibu apart:

Others stop at: Noibu goes further:
Playback only Developer-ready diagnostics

Built for revenue impact:

  • Help Codes tie user complaints directly to exact sessions
  • Custom data capture including campaigns, orders, and test variants
  • Complete technical diagnostics including user interactions, HTTP events, page events, Core Web Vitals, and linked technical issues
  • AI search and comprehensive filters isolate revenue-impacting friction fast

What customers are saying

“With Noibu, I spent only 30 minutes fixing an issue after I found the user session in Noibu. A dev team member had spent 3 days investigating it beforehand—Noibu helped solve it in minutes.” 
Suntheng Taing, Senior Software Engineer, Converse

“It’s all about visibility. Noibu provides eyes and ears that we otherwise wouldn’t have.”
— Matt Louth, IT Director, Hobbycraft

“Noibu is the only tool we’ve found that gives you instant pointers in the code where the error lies. Others give you a video. Noibu gives developers what they need.”
— Daniel Collier, Head of IT, Hobbycraft

“Noibu has helped us change the conversation between customer service and other teams. Now we have proof of what the customer experienced.”
— Will Fox, Senior Manager of Web Operations, Big Ass Fans

Proven business impact

1. Identify problems faster

“We saw that users weren’t seeing products load at a key funnel step. That dropped conversion. Noibu helped us validate and fix it fast.”

— Meredith Eads, Product Design Manager, Aeroflow Health

2. Cut dev time in half

“Before Noibu, our engineering workflow was slow and manual. Now, 50% of that work is automated.”

— Nathan Armstrong, Director of Customer Solutions, Pampered Chef

3. Recover hidden revenue

“We found a 0.2 second layout shift that dropped our Core Web Vitals score—and our SEO. Noibu showed us exactly where it happened. A simple fix once we knew.”

— Matthew Lawson, CDO, Ribble Cycles
