Frequently asked questions
How long does the popup stay hidden after close?
One day by default. Change it per popup in the “Hide duration after close (days)” field.
Can I show a popup only on a selected page?
Yes — in the “Targeting” section pick a specific page or “All pages”.
Can I show a popup only on mobile or only on desktop?
Yes. In targeting choose “Desktop only” or “Mobile only”.
What is exit-intent?
The popup appears when the visitor moves their cursor toward the tab close / address bar (desktop), or performs a quick upward scroll (mobile).
Does the plugin slow down my site?
No. The frontend is ~4 KB JS and ~2 KB CSS, loaded only when at least one popup is active for the current page.
What languages are supported?
English, Polski, Deutsch, Français, Español, Italiano out of the box. The plugin ships with a .pot file so any other language can be added.
