Why This Matters
Are your visitors bouncing from your product pages? Studies show that interactive content can increase conversion rates by up to 86%. Static images are often ignored, leading to low engagement and lost sales. Osteo Image Hotspot directly addresses this by making your visuals an active part of the user journey. Instead of just showing a product, you can guide customers through its features, answer their questions proactively, and link directly to purchase pages, all from a single image. This simple addition can dramatically reduce bounce rates and turn passive viewers into active buyers.

FAQ
Can I use this plugin without WPBakery Page Builder?
No, Osteo Image Hotspot is specifically designed as an add-on for the WPBakery Page Builder (formerly Visual Composer). It requires WPBakery to be installed and active on your WordPress site to function correctly. It adds a new element to the WPBakery editor, allowing you to create and manage hotspots visually.
Are the interactive images created with this plugin mobile-friendly?
Absolutely. The plugin is built with a responsive design first. Hotspots and their tooltips automatically adjust to fit any screen size, from large desktops to small mobile phones. The touch-friendly interface ensures that users on mobile devices can easily tap hotspots to view the associated content, providing a seamless experience for all visitors.
What kind of content can I add to a hotspot tooltip?
You have a great deal of flexibility. The tooltips support rich content, which means you can add formatted text (headings, bold, lists), images, embedded videos (from YouTube, Vimeo, etc.), and even custom HTML or shortcodes from other plugins. This allows you to create highly informative and engaging pop-ups for each point on your image.
Will using this plugin slow down my website?
The Osteo Image Hotspot plugin is developed with performance in mind. It is lightweight and its assets (scripts and styles) are loaded conditionally only on pages where you use the hotspot element. This ensures that it does not add unnecessary overhead to your site and has a minimal impact on your page loading times.
