Why use this trigger?
Time spent on a page is a strong indicator of interest — or uncertainty. When a visitor stays for a certain number of seconds, they’re engaged enough to consider your offer, but may also be hesitating or evaluating options. A time-based trigger lets you respond at the perfect moment: not too early to feel intrusive, not too late to miss the opportunity.
Where it works best?
Use this trigger on pages where the duration of stay reveals user intent or information overload:
Product detail pages — show guidance, reviews, or trust elements if the user keeps reading for longer.
Pricing or plan comparison pages — offer help when users spend time deciding between options.
Checkout pages — display reassurance messages or support prompts for users taking longer than usual.
Blog posts or guides — highlight related content or invite readers to subscribe after steady engagement.
Homepage or category pages — trigger onboarding messages for users who explore longer without taking action.
What does it solve?
A time-based trigger helps you re-engage users who are interested but not decisive. It increases conversions by offering help or motivation exactly when attention peaks — or when the visitor might otherwise drop off.
Best practice tip:
Choose time thresholds based on page type:
6–10 seconds for product and landing pages
15–30 seconds for content-rich or informational pages
45–60 seconds for deeper guides or research-oriented content
