How to apply a DELAY TO ELEMENTS in GreatPages

You can apply a display delay to any native page element.


Let's use a button element as an example. Here is the step-by-step process:


  1. Go to the page editor;



  1. Regardless of the element type, click "Edit";


  1. The button's editing screen will open; click the "Configure" menu to find the "Display delay" option. Here, you can set the delay duration using two fields: the first for minutes and the second for seconds;



  1. Once you do this, the "Delay only on first visit" option becomes available. If enabled, returning visitors won't 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 an option to skip the wait time and view the page elements immediately.


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