With the Refresh Count Limit feature in Auto Refresh Plus (ARP), you can control exactly how many times a webpage is refreshed. Once the specified number of refresh cycles is reached, the extension automatically stops refreshing the page, helping prevent unnecessary reloads.
How to Limit the Number of Page Refreshes
Follow these steps:
- Open the Auto Refresh Plus extension
- Go to the Interval tab
- Scroll down to Set Refresh Number
- Enter the number of refreshes you want to allow
- Click Start
For example:
- Refresh Interval: 30 seconds
- Refresh Count Limit: 20
The page will refresh 20 times and then stop automatically.
When Should I Use Refresh Count Limit?
Refresh Count Limit is useful when you only need to monitor a page for a specific period.
Common use cases include:
- Monitoring product availability
- Checking ticket releases
- Tracking job listings
- Watching limited-time offers
- Following temporary website updates
Instead of refreshing indefinitely, the extension stops after reaching your specified limit.
Important Notes
- Refresh Count Limit is configured per website from the extension popup
- The refresh cycle stops automatically when the specified limit is reached
- You can combine Refresh Count Limit with any refresh interval
- If no limit is configured, refresh will continue until manually stopped
Summary
Need a page to refresh only a specific number of times? The Refresh Count Limit feature lets you define the maximum number of refresh cycles before Auto Refresh Plus automatically stops the refresh process.
