If it feels like your settings are resetting in Auto Refresh Plus (ARP), it’s usually a misunderstanding of how the extension is designed to work.
How Auto Refresh Plus Is Designed
All popup settings are strictly page-specific (slug-based).
- Every setting you apply is linked to the exact page URL
- Settings are not shared across pages
- Even pages on the same website will have separate configurations
This is intentional and a core part of how Auto Refresh Plus works.
Why This Behavior Is Important
This design gives you full control per page.
Example:
- On a shopping website:
- Product A → Refresh every 5 seconds
- Product B → Refresh every 30 seconds
- Product C → Monitor for “In Stock”
Each page behaves independently.
If one setting applied to the entire website, it would limit flexibility and make the extension far less useful.
Why It Feels Like Settings Are Resetting
This usually happens when:
- You configure settings on one page
- Then open a different page (even on the same website)
- The new page has no saved settings
So it looks like the settings were reset, but actually they were never applied to that page.
What General Settings Do
👉 https://account.autorefresh.io/
General Settings:
- Apply across all websites
- Control supporting features like:
- Notifications
- Auto Start behavior
- Predefined rules
However:
- Core features like Refresh Interval, Countdown, Page Monitor are not global
- These must be set per page from the popup
Summary
Auto Refresh Plus does not reset your settings.
It is designed to apply settings per page (slug), not across an entire website. This gives you precise control and is what makes the extension powerful for real-world use cases.
