Where is the coordinate information from the browser ?

ClickHeat plugin uses text files to record the coordinate data of each browser in directory: yourpiwik/tmp/cache/clickheat/logs.

Does it withstands high traffics ?

Unfortunately not. Because this plugin uses text files to record data. Therefore, please use this plugin to experiment or low traffics.

New click data were added, but not updated heatmap. Why ?

Plugin places heatmap images in the cache directory: yourpiwik/tmp/cache/clickheat/cache. Therefore when you suddenly met with such probrem, you can delete cache files (do not delete cache directory).

Showed a heatmap, but not overlay a heatmap to the target web page. Why ?

Check that your website does not set the HTTP header X-FRAME-OPTIONS to SAMEORIGIN as this will prevent this plugin from iframing your website for the heatmap report. Please see Page Overlay Troubleshooting, that is same problem.
