Automatically Refresh Any Website Every Few Seconds
Tags: Visit a website with any regularity that is continually providing updated information yet forces you to reload the page to get the new content? For the longest time most Sports websites would require you to refresh the page to retrieve the latest scores. The popularity of AJAX from a few years back allowed many of these sites to upgrade their functionality to provide near real-time updates to your browser. However, many sites have yet to upgrade and still require the rather archaic process of clicking reload or hitting F5 – eBay, I’m looking at you!
PAGE REBOOT is a fantastically simple idea that alleviates the problem in hand. The free service can automatically refresh any URL address provided in an interval of your choice. If an eBay auction that you are keenly interested in is nearing completion, rather than hammer furiously to reload, just pass the link to pagereboot.com. It doesn’t get any easier than that.
