How to apply a DELAY TO BLOCKS in GreatPages

You can natively set an opening delay for a specific block (or blocks) on the page. Here is a step-by-step guide on how it works:


  1. Access the page editor;



  1. Locate the block for which you want to set the delay and click "Edit" in the top-left corner of the screen;



  1. The editing screen will open; click on the "Configure" menu to find the "Display Delay" option. Here, you can set the delay duration: the first field is for minutes, and the second is for seconds;



  1. Once you do this, the "Delay only on first visit" option becomes available. If enabled, returning visitors will not have to wait for the delay again;



  1. That’s it—the setup is complete! To test it, click the "Preview" icon in the top-right corner of the editor screen;



  1. In the page preview, a small box will appear indicating the delay and offering the option to skip the wait time to view the hidden blocks.


This box does not appear on the published page! It only shows up in the preview so you can skip the wait time if necessary.
