Don't just show a popup.
Redirect with it.
A featherweight WordPress plugin: a full-screen image overlay that counts down and sends visitors exactly where you want them.
Latest release v1.4 · ~23 KB · WordPress 5.0+ · PHP 7.0+
Small plugin. Sharp intent.
Everything you need to turn a passive overlay into an active funnel — and nothing you don't.
Countdown redirect
Set the seconds. When the timer hits zero, the visitor is sent to your target automatically.
Full-screen overlay
A centered image lightbox with adjustable backdrop opacity and a smooth pop-in animation.
Page or external URL
Redirect to any internal WordPress page from a dropdown, or to any external link you paste.
Precise targeting
Show it on the homepage only, on every page, or hand-pick specific pages with checkboxes.
Remembers dismissals
A cookie keeps the popup from re-appearing after a visitor closes it — for as many days as you choose.
Lightweight & clean
Vanilla JavaScript on the frontend, properly enqueued assets, prefixed code. No bloat, no jQuery.
Install in under a minute.
No build tools, no dependencies. Download the zip, upload, activate, configure.
