What Is a Popup That Shows on Page Load?

A page load popup is a type of message or form that automatically appears shortly after a visitor arrives on your website or funnel page—without them clicking or scrolling. This kind of popup is triggered by a timing setting (like a 2-second delay) and is used to grab the visitor’s attention right away. It’s commonly used to promote time-sensitive offers, capture leads, or display welcome messages that encourage action early in the visit.

Key Benefits of Using a Page Load Popup

• Automation: Automatically launch popups without requiring the user to click anything.
• Lead generation: Perfect for growing email lists or offering limited-time deals the moment a user lands.
• Conversion optimization:Use immediate popups to boost funnel conversions with time-sensitive CTAs.
• Behavior targeting: Choose exactly when the popup should appear with a customizable delay timer.
• Broad compatibility: Works on both Funnels and Websites inside the GHL Customer Care platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I set the popup to show only once per visit or session?
No, the popup will appear each time the page loads unless the visitor stays on the same page.

Q: What if I want the popup to show when someone tries to leave?
Use the "Exit" option on the "Show popup on" dropdown to create a popup that triggers when the user moves their cursor toward the browser toolbar.

Q: Can I use this on both Funnels and Websites?
Yes! The feature works identically for both, and the setup process is exactly the same.

Q: What happens if the popup is opened manually before the delay time is reached?
 If the popup is triggered manually (e.g., by a button click) before the delay timer finishes, the automatic popup will be canceled. This prevents the same popup from appearing twice during the same page view.
