Atlas Dynamic Messages for WooCommerce

🚀 The ONLY WooCommerce countdown plugin that displays accurate, real-time countdowns even with page caching enabled!

While other countdown plugins show outdated times when pages are cached, Atlas Dynamic Messages uses advanced client-side technology to ensure your customers ALWAYS see the correct remaining time – whether you’re using WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, Cloudflare, Varnish, or any other caching solution.

Why Atlas Dynamic Messages is Different:

Unlike traditional countdown plugins that render times server-side (and get stuck in cache), our plugin uses a smart REST API approach that bypasses cache entirely. This means:

✅ 100% Cache Compatible – Works flawlessly with ALL caching plugins and CDNs
✅ Always Accurate – Countdowns update in real-time, every second
✅ Better Performance – Cached pages load faster while countdowns remain dynamic
✅ No Cache Exclusions Needed – No need to exclude pages from cache
✅ CDN Friendly – Works perfectly with Cloudflare, BunnyCDN, and others

Perfect For:

• Shipping Deadlines: “Order in the next 2 hours 34 minutes for same-day delivery!”
• Flash Sales: “Sale ends in 4 hours 12 minutes!”
• Limited Offers: “Free shipping for the next 1 hour 45 minutes!”
• Event Countdowns: “Black Friday starts in 3 days 14 hours!”

Core Features:

• “Order now, get it by tomorrow – offer valid for {time_remain}”

Technical Details for Developers

How the Cache-Proof Technology Works:

1. Static Placeholder: The plugin injects minimal HTML placeholders that can be safely cached
2. Client-Side Initialization: JavaScript detects these placeholders after page load
3. REST API Call: Makes a single, lightweight API call to fetch active scenarios and server time
4. Local Computation: All countdown calculations happen in the browser
5. Real-Time Updates: JavaScript updates the countdown every second locally

This architecture ensures:
– Pages remain fully cacheable
– No PHP execution on cached pages
– Accurate countdowns regardless of cache age
– Minimal server load (one API call per page load)
– Compatible with all caching layers (plugin, server, CDN)
