Chrome Reload Times: Customize Refresh Intervals for Webpages
Automated Webpage Reloading with AutoReloader
If you require a webpage to refresh at specified intervals, or manage different reload timings for several pages, the AutoReloader extension for Google Chrome provides a solution.
Using the AutoReloader Extension
Upon initial access, the extension’s drop-down menu will display a neutral “waiting” status. You can begin utilizing the extension immediately by inputting the desired reload “time frame” for a webpage. Note that within the “Repeat Option,” a value of “0” signifies “Continuous” reloading.
It is recommended to review the “Options” menu to explore any desired “operational changes” you might want to implement.
After entering a time value, click “Set Link” to initiate the timer.
The remaining time can be viewed on the “Toolbar Button,” provided this feature hasn’t been disabled within the “Options”.
Selecting the “Toolbar Button” will reveal an expanded timer view within the drop-down window, alongside a “Cancel Current Timer Link”.
A key benefit of AutoReloader is its ability to create a personalized list of “Reload Times” accessible through the drop-down menu. For example, the “Productive Geek Webpage” can be set to reload every 30 seconds, while “TinyHacker Webpage” reloads every minute, concurrently. Running multiple “reload times” simultaneously presents no conflicts; this is a particularly useful feature.
Conclusion
The AutoReloader extension is an ideal tool for managing periodic webpage reloads, whether you need to monitor a single page or several, such as a Woot-Off or an Ebay auction. Implementing and running customized reload schedules concurrently has never been simpler.
