GoalPrevail Tab Notifications

People open ten tabs and forget about yours. GoalPrevail Tab Notifications brings them back the way the big sites do it: the moment a visitor switches to another tab or minimises the browser, your page title starts to flash a friendly reminder, and a little (1) counter ticks up — just like an unread Facebook message. When they come back, the original title (and favicon) snap straight back into place.

It’s built for the highest-intent moment in any store: a shopper with a full cart who tabbed away to “think about it”.

• Title flashing — alternate between the real page title and your message (e.g. 👋 Come back! ), or use the calmer “Replace” mode that swaps the title just once.
• Facebook-style counter — an optional (1) , (2) … badge that counts how many times the visitor wandered off, so it reads like a genuine notification.
• Favicon badge — stamp a coloured dot (with the counter) over your site icon, drawn live in the browser. Falls back gracefully if the icon can’t be read.
• Cart & checkout aware — when WooCommerce is active, target cart and checkout only, with a dedicated cart message and an “only when the cart actually has items” guard.
• Flexible targeting — every page, WooCommerce cart/checkout, or a hand-picked list of pages (by ID, path like /pricing/ , or home ).
• Message rotation — list several lines and they cycle as the title flashes.
• Tunable — set the flash speed, a delay before it starts, and a “stop after N flashes” cap so it never becomes annoying.
• Two triggers — fire only when the tab is hidden (switch / minimise), or also when the whole window loses focus.
• Won’t nag you — hidden from logged-in administrators by default.
• Welcome them back — optionally greet returning visitors with a short message before the real title slides back.
• Know when to stop — choose who sees it (everyone, guests, or signed-in users), exclude pages you never want it on, and cap how many times it fires in one visit.
