Back button on the browser to step backwards through the session pages, these pages are retrieved from the browser's local cache, and the browser does not send any requests to the web server for this information.

Tealeaf can identify when the browser back button is clicked by the user with the request message:

"navigation"

"type":"BACKFORWARD"

If the value of the HTTP_REFERER field references an earlier page in the User Impression stack, RTV also indicates that the Back button was pressed.

In Replay View, the Viewable Pages list shows a green box that contains a left-facing arrow, and in the main window the word back is placed in the upper-right corner of the Content pane.

In the Viewable Pages list, a dummy page representing Back button sequencing is inserted. For example, the pattern 10*(8) indicates that page 8 was seen after page 10, and the user impression was the same as page 8. The number in parentheses is the nearest previous page number whose URL matches the value of the HTTP_REFERER.

Note: In Request and Response views, Back button sequencing is not displayed.

Because Back button detection is an interpolation of known hits, it may not be accurate and may not work on all sites. Depending on your site's architecture, you may want to disable Back Button Detection through the Replay options.

Note: By default, Back button detection is disabled, as recent changes in browser architecture limit its effectiveness.
