Chrome is a popular web browser that allows users to set custom reload times for individual webpages. This can be helpful if you want to avoid having your page reload constantly, or if you want to limit the amount of time that a page is displayed before it automatically reloads. To set custom reload times for individual webpages in Chrome, follow these steps:

  1. Open Chrome and click on the three lines in the top right corner of the browser window.
  2. Select “Settings” from the menu that appears.
  3. Under “Advanced,” click on “Reloading.”
  4. In the “Reloading” section, under “Webpage Reload Times,” select a time interval from the list and click on the “Set Custom Time” button. ..

Using AutoReloader

When you first look at the drop-down window everything will be in a neutral “waiting” state. You can start using the extension immediately by simply entering the desired “time frame” for reloading a webpage. Notice for the “Repeat Option” that “0 = Continuous”…

You may want to have a quick look through the “Options” to see if there are any “operational changes” that you would like to make.

Once you enter a time click on the “Set Link” to start the timer.

Notice that you can view the time remaining on the “Toolbar Button” unless you disabled the feature in the “Options”.

Clicking on the “Toolbar Button” will show a larger version of the timer in the drop-down window along with a “Cancel Current Timer Link”.

Here is the best part of all with AutoReloader…you can set up your own customized list of “Reload Times” and then access them through the drop-down window. Using the two times shown here we were able to set the “Productive Geek Webpage” up for 30 second reloads and the “TinyHacker Webpage” up for 1 minute reloads at the same time. There was no conflict whatsoever in running both “reload times” simultaneously. This is a really terrific feature!

Conclusion

Whether you have only one webpage or multiple pages that need periodic reloading (such as tracking a Woot-Off or an Ebay auction) the AutoReloader extension is the perfect tool for the job. Running custom reload times simultaneously have never been easier.
