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!

🎯 Solves The #1 Problem: Most countdown plugins show outdated times when pages are cached. Atlas Dynamic Messages uses REST API technology to bypass cache entirely – your countdowns are ALWAYS accurate, updating every second in real-time!

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

  1. Static Placeholder: The plugin injects minimal HTML placeholders that can be safely cached
  2. Client-Side Initialization: JavaScript detects these placeholders after page load
  3. REST API Call: Makes a single, lightweight API call to fetch active scenarios and server time
  4. Local Computation: All countdown calculations happen in the browser
  5. 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!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this plugin work with caching?
This is our secret sauce! Unlike other countdown plugins, Atlas Dynamic Messages uses client-side JavaScript and REST API calls to fetch real-time data. This means:

  • The countdown timer bypasses ALL page caching
  • Works with WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, Cloudflare, etc.
  • No need to exclude pages from cache
  • Your pages stay cached for optimal performance
  • Countdowns remain 100% accurate and update every second
Will this slow down my site?
No! In fact, it can make your site faster. Because the countdown is handled client-side, your pages can be fully cached. The lightweight JavaScript only loads when needed and makes a single API call to get the current time. This means better performance than traditional countdown plugins that require excluding pages from cache.
What caching plugins is this compatible with?
ALL of them! Including but not limited to: WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, Autoptimize, Cache Enabler, Comet Cache, Hummingbird, SG Optimizer, plus server-level caching like Varnish and CDNs like Cloudflare, BunnyCDN, and KeyCDN.
Do I need to configure anything special for caching?
No! That’s the beauty of this plugin. You don’t need to exclude any pages from cache, add any special rules, or configure anything. It works out of the box with any caching setup.
Does this plugin require WooCommerce?
Yes, this plugin is designed specifically for WooCommerce stores and requires WooCommerce to be installed and activated.
Can I display different messages on different pages?
Yes! Each scenario can be configured to display on product pages, cart page, checkout page, or any combination of these. You have complete control over where each message appears.
How does the midnight crossing feature work?
When you set a time range that crosses midnight (e.g., Tuesday 23:30 to 01:00), the message will appear on Tuesday starting at 23:30 and continue until 01:00 on Wednesday. The plugin automatically detects these scenarios and provides helpful notifications to ensure correct configuration.
How do I show the remaining time in my message?
Simply include the {time_remain} placeholder in your message text, and it will be automatically replaced with the remaining time until the end of the active period. The countdown updates in real-time every second, even on cached pages!
