Our Overlays technology is optimized for different browsers and we take into account several things, for example:

• mouse speed and direction
• system checks, how many tabs are opened and if visitor has several tabs opened from the same site, then we don't show the Overlay when visitor closes other tabs, we show it - only when visitor is about to leave the last tab
• it also checks if you just opened the site and moved mouse out of active window by mistake,
• for mobile visitors we can also trigger Overlays when they scroll to the address bar to enter a different

If your website has products that sometimes are out of stock, you can send a Push Notification to visitors who were interested in the specific product and asked to inform them when it becomes available.

1. Check if browser supports Web Push?

Frequency capping

Platform supports PNG, JPG and GIF file formats. Animated GIF images can be used. We suggest always using PNG banners because they do not loose quality upon upload. As for size – we suggest using large banner sizes. Some of the recommended sizes are – 970x550, 640x360, 600x600, 580x460. Different images should be used for tablet and smartphone campaigns. For tablet campaigns recommended image sizes are - 640x360, 600x600, 580x460. Images larger than 700px in width should not be used. For smartphone campaigns we recommend using images with size 320x320 or 320x480.

Due to the way Web Push works, you cannot migrate data from one service to another. We suggest that you install MaxTraffic onto your site. Then send a message to your existing subscribers to get them to come back to your website.

How will this transition work?

You need to remove old service provider codes - stops you from collecting database there but still allows to send messages to existing subscribers. Add MaxTraffic codes - will allow you to start collecting subscribers into MaxTraffic and send
