Atlas Dynamic Messages for WooCommerce
The ONLY Countdown Plugin That Works Perfectly With Page Caching
Real-time countdown messages that bypass ALL caching plugins – WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, Cloudflare, and more! Your countdowns stay accurate even on cached pages.
🚀 Cache-Compatible Technology: Unlike other countdown plugins that break with caching, Atlas Dynamic Messages uses advanced client-side technology to ensure your customers ALWAYS see accurate countdowns – no cache exclusions needed!
Atlas Dynamic Messages for WooCommerce
Version 2.4.1 Compatible with WordPress 6.8.2+, WooCommerce 9.5+
Create urgency with real-time countdown messages that work flawlessly with ALL caching solutions – no configuration needed!
Finally – Countdown Timers That Work With Cached Pages!
Why Atlas Dynamic Messages is Different
While traditional countdown plugins render times server-side (and get stuck in cache), our plugin uses a revolutionary approach:
- ✅ 100% Cache Compatible – Works with WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, Cloudflare, Varnish, and ALL other caching solutions
- ✅ Always Accurate – Countdowns update in real-time, every second, regardless of cache age
- ✅ Better Performance – Keep your pages fully cached for optimal speed while countdowns remain dynamic
- ✅ No Cache Exclusions – No need to exclude pages from cache (which hurts performance)
- ✅ CDN Friendly – Works perfectly with Cloudflare, BunnyCDN, and other CDN services
Perfect For High-Traffic Stores
If you’re using aggressive caching to handle high traffic, traditional countdown plugins force you to choose between performance and functionality. With Atlas Dynamic Messages, you get both:
- Shipping Deadlines: “Order in the next 2 hours 34 minutes for same-day delivery!” – Updates every second, even on cached pages
- Flash Sales: “Sale ends in 4 hours 12 minutes!” – Real-time accuracy drives conversions
- Limited Offers: “Free shipping for the next 1 hour 45 minutes!” – Creates genuine urgency
- Event Countdowns: “Black Friday starts in 3 days 14 hours!” – Perfect for seasonal campaigns
How Our Cache-Proof Technology Works
- Static Placeholder: The plugin injects minimal HTML placeholders that can be safely cached
- Client-Side Initialization: JavaScript detects these placeholders after page load
- REST API Call: Makes a single, lightweight API call to fetch active scenarios and server time
- Local Computation: All countdown calculations happen in the browser
- Real-Time Updates: JavaScript updates the countdown every second locally
This means your pages stay fully cached while your countdowns remain 100% accurate and dynamic!
