Some tools such as popups will only display once per session (website visit) to avoid annoying your customers.

 

Browser session length depends on individual browser settings:

  • For example, IF you browser ‘remembers’ your tabs when you reopen your browser it will be the ‘same’ browser session.
  • Please unclick this option on your browser settings when testing. 
  • You can select to display tools ‘once per day/hour’ on the display options IF you would like certain tools like popups to appear more frequently.

 

Some tools do not display on smaller mobile screens. Please double check the “Display Options” on the setting page for ‘minimum screen size’ for each tool.

 

If you enter your email, the tool will NOT display again (to avoid annoying your new subscribers). Please test in private browser mode.

Zotabox tools load asynchronously (after your website loads, so your visitors can interact with your website before our tools load) and will not affect your website’s loading speed.

Note: Loading time depends on the location and the internet connection at the time.

All our static resources are delivered through premium CloudFlare CDN and using dynamic browser cache. (we can not minimize our script further or it will affect our tool’s proper performance).

We have developed our ZB Framework / micro services that uses the latest NodeJs, PHP, MySQL, NoSql, PM2 technology to deliver maximum performance and the quickest load times.

Our loading speed maybe affected by other 3rd party tools. Please delete unused tools or consider using a CDN system like CloudFlare to speed up loading static resources.

Shopify merchants can also embed our code manually to speed up loading times (if you have multiple apps installed on your site).

Third party widgets like Facebook and Google may take longer to load first time but load faster for your repeat visitors.

Facebook’s script (for live chat) may take some time to load, BUT will load AFTER your general website script is loaded so will not affect your user’s general experience of your website.

Loading speed is only one factor in your overall user experience. Ex. Amazon has a low score but high traffic and good user experience.

You can get suggestions to improve your website loading speed here.

You can also test your website performance without Zotabox tools by adding #zbstop in the end of your website URL.

Eg. http://yourdomain.com/#zbstop

Zotabox also has flexible display rules to maximize customer impact.

Your popup height depends on size chosen (small, medium, large, square) and your text length, # of fields, buttons etc. on your popup.

Our 4 standard popup sizes are: + Large (800 x 533 pixels) + Medium (600 x 400 pixels) + Small (500x 375 pixels) + Square (450 x 450 pixels).

The popups will display the standard size on large screens and are auto-responsive (cropped) on narrow tablet and mobile devices.

Note: If your popup content (text length, buttons, fields etc.) is greater than the standard popup height then the actual popup height will follow your popup content.

We don’t recommend using text on background images as it maybe automatically cropped.

You can also choose to display on minimum size – tablet with the display options on the setting page.

We hope this information helps you.

Push Notifications consists of TWO consecutive popups that your visitors will see on your website. You can customize both popups on the setting page.

Your website visitor MUST ‘allow‘ BOTH popups to be added to your subscriber list. Your visitor’s anonymous browser ID is added to your subscriber list (not your visitor name or email).

Important Note: Your visitor will only RECEIVE push notifications from you on the SAME browser and device that they originally subscribe on (Ex. Chrome/home desktop, Firefox/mobile device, Safari/office desktop etc).

After your visitor has ‘allowed’ BOTH popups they will be added to your ‘subscription’ list. You can now ‘send notifications’ to them.

This tool does NOT work in ‘preview’ mode (only on your live site).

Note: After your visitor’s subscribe, they will NOT see the original notification popup again on your site.

When testing

Be sure to ‘allow notifications’ in your browser to see both notification popups.

IF you ‘allow’ both popups on your website and then refresh your website, you will ONLY see the FIRST popup again on your site.

To see the 2nd popup, you must go to your browser settings/notifications/allow – then remove your push notification, to see the 2nd popup again.

OR you can choose another browser (or another Chrome login) to see your website fresh on another browser. The push notifications work on Chrome, Firefox and Edge. Safari blocks all push notifications.

Note: When a browser receives the messages, we will record a sent result. After that, if the browser is opened by customer, we will record a new messenger seen. Some merchants record higher ‘seen’ %. We can not control this.
