A Web-analytics system analyzes user activity on a Web site of interest. The system receives a set of user-session logs that each track user behavior on the site during one session. The system identifies common patterns of user behavior recorded in the logs. The system stores each identified pattern in a reserved area and replaces each instance of a stored pattern in a log with a placeholder. During the analytics system's subsequent analysis of a session, the system need process only the reduced-size log of that session, referring to the previously stored patterns whenever encountering a corresponding placeholder.

A graphical processor, method, and/or computer program product controls a display of user controls on a graphical user interface. A display tool displays a screen view of a data image on a display, where the screen view includes one or more graphical objects. A magnifier tool displays a zoomed-in view of a portion of the screen view, where the zoomed-in view is superimposed on the screen view, and where the magnifier tool is enabled to display a zoomed-in view that is not part of a current screen view. A crosshair tool targets a graphical object in the zoomed-in portion of the view. A decoration tool displays a user control for a targeted graphical object.

Generating replay of a webpage is provided. In response to determining that a document object model (DOM) replay of the webpage is a differential DOM replay, a base DOM of the webpage, base DOM differentials of the webpage, and user interactions with the webpage are retrieved. The base DOM of the webpage is patched with the base DOM differentials of the webpage to generate a patched DOM corresponding to the webpage. The user interactions with the webpage are overlaid on the patched DOM to generate the replay of the webpage.

A graphical processor, method, and/or computer program product controls a display of user controls on a graphical user interface. A display tool displays a screen view of a data image on a display, wherein the screen view includes one or more graphical objects. A magnifier tool displays a zoomed-in view of a portion of the screen view, wherein the zoomed-in view is superimposed on the screen view, and wherein the zoomed-in view remains turned on until turned off by the user. A crosshair tool targets a graphical object in the zoomed-in portion of the view. A decoration tool displays a user control for a targeted graphical object.
