Dead Click
A tag placed on clicks where the user expected the page to respond but nothing happened.

Computational logic
This signal fires when a click occurs on a visible element but no follow-up change happens on the page — no navigation, no panel opening, no state change; unlike Rage Click, which requires repeated clicks, Dead Click can fire from a single click.
Use-case narrative & business value
This metric gives you a precise radar for visual failures and frustrating frontend bugs. Imagine an element on your page looks like a button or link but isn't actually clickable; Dead Click exposes exactly that visual misunderstanding. This tag usually points to a frontend bug or a decorative element that was unintentionally styled to look clickable — fixing it typically improves that page's experience immediately.
