Beskrivelse

Title Bar Switcher is a simple but powerful plugin that dynamically updates your browser tab title and favicon when visitors switch to another tab.
This effect acts like a tab notification plugin and helps recapture attention, improve engagement, and reduce bounce rate.

The plugin works instantly when users leave the tab, creating an “attention booster” effect.
Great for blogs, e-commerce sites, educational sites, landing pages, and any website looking to increase user retention.

Features:
* Change browser tab title when the visitor leaves the page (inactive tab title)
* Restore the original title when the visitor returns
* Optional favicon switching with a simple URL field (dynamic favicon support)
* Realistic browser tab preview with title + favicon + close icon
* Lightweight, fast, and JS-only (no jQuery)
* Translation ready and fully compatible with caching plugins
* Ideal for improving user engagement, dwell time, and retention

Ofte stilte spørsmål

Does this affect SEO?: No. Title changes only appear when the browser tab is inactive and revert immediately upon return, so it has no negative SEO impact.
Is setting a second favicon required?: No. Leaving the field blank keeps your default favicon unchanged.
Will it work with any theme?: Yes. Works with any WordPress theme since it’s JavaScript-based and does not touch theme files.
Is there a delay option?: No. The title and favicon switch happen instantly without delay.
