Auto Page Refresher Chrome Extension

Auto Page Refresher Browser Extension

Built for Real Live Pages

The Auto Page Refresher Pro keeps any tab fresh on a schedule of your choice. Furthermore, intervals, randomisation, and per-site rules are all configurable. Therefore, dashboards, ticket queues, live scores, and stock pages stay current — without you tapping refresh every few seconds throughout the day.

01

Per-Tab Custom Intervals

Each tab can run its own refresh schedule. Furthermore, intervals can be entered in seconds, minutes, or any combination — therefore, dashboards refresh at one cadence while a separate live ticker runs at a much faster rhythm.

02

Randomised Refreshes

Optional randomisation prevents predictable, bot-like patterns. Moreover, jitter ranges are configurable — consequently, the refresh behaviour mimics a real human visitor and avoids tripping the rate limiters that some monitored pages aggressively enforce.

03

Smart Pause & Resume

Pause refreshes during typing, video playback, or while a modal is open. As a result, you do not lose form input or interrupt a video — and refreshing resumes the moment the tab is genuinely idle again.

Your Workflow, Without It vs With It

Without

Tapping refresh forever

  • Hammering F5 on dashboards every few seconds.
  • Forgetting to refresh and missing the moment something changes.
  • Lost form drafts because a generic refresher reloaded mid-typing.
With Auto Refresher Pro

Pages that stay current on their own

  • Each tab refreshes on its own per-tab schedule reliably.
  • Randomised intervals avoid predictable rate-limit triggers.
  • Smart pause protects open forms, videos, and modals.

Moments It Saves Your Day

Operations · Live Dashboard

Watching a fleet status board

You set the dashboard tab to refresh on a steady cadence and walk away. Furthermore, the toolbar countdown confirms the loop — therefore, the team stays informed without anyone holding F5 for the entire shift.

QA · Long Test Runs

Polling a build pipeline status page

You enable randomised refresh on the build view and switch to coding. Moreover, the smart pause keeps your editor input safe — consequently, the build status updates itself while real work continues uninterrupted in another tab.

Sales · Competitor Watch

Tracking a fast-moving public listing

You configure a competitor pricing page to refresh on a relaxed schedule. In addition, jitter prevents predictable patterns — therefore, you spot price moves quickly without producing noisy, mechanical request signatures on the destination server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Every tab can run on its own schedule, and you can assign per-domain defaults if you frequently visit the same dashboards. Furthermore, the toolbar countdown confirms the active interval. Therefore, two open tabs can refresh at completely different rhythms, which keeps fast-moving and slow-moving pages both correctly served.
It adds a small jitter window around the configured interval, so the timing pattern looks less mechanical. Moreover, the jitter range is configurable. Consequently, sites that rate-limit predictable polling are far less likely to flag the tab, and the refresh behaviour stays closer to a real visitor’s natural cadence.
No. Smart pause detects active form input and quietly delays the refresh until you stop typing. Furthermore, video playback and open modal dialogs are also respected. Therefore, the extension stays helpful in the background instead of becoming the reason a long form post or thoughtful comment vanishes unexpectedly.
Yes. Refresh schedules continue even when a tab is not focused. Therefore, dashboards and monitor pages stay current while you work in another tab. Moreover, the toolbar countdown still updates, so the active rhythm of every running schedule remains easy to verify with a quick glance.
No. Settings stay in local storage and refreshes are issued by your browser as if you pressed reload. Furthermore, the extension does not log URLs or send analytics to any server. Consequently, internal staging environments and authenticated dashboards remain safe to monitor without exposure to outside services.
No. The extension uses a lightweight alarm-based scheduler. Moreover, no scripts run inside the page beyond what is required for smart pause detection. Therefore, ordinary browsing performance is unaffected, even when several tabs are configured to refresh simultaneously throughout the entire working day across multiple browser windows.
Right-click the toolbar icon and choose Remove, or open the browser extensions page and remove it from there. Furthermore, locally stored rules are cleared with it. Therefore, no leftover files remain. Consequently, reinstalling later starts from a clean state, exactly as if it were a fresh first install.
