Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Easy Auto Reload automatically refreshes WordPress pages after a configurable period of user inactivity, helping prevent expired sessions, stale dashboards, WooCommerce timeout issues, and failed nonce requests.

The plugin reloads pages only when visitors become completely idle – never during typing, scrolling, clicking, or interaction.

Built with lightweight vanilla JavaScript and no jQuery dependency, it works quietly in the background to keep sessions active and pages fresh.

Perfect for WooCommerce stores, dashboards, membership systems, admin panels, kiosk displays, and applications with expiring sessions or tokens.

Inspired by Isaac Newton’s observations of motion and invisible forces, Easy Auto Reload keeps your digital environment in motion – quietly preventing pages and sessions from drifting into silence.

Your website shall not slumber. Not today.
