Screen Stay Awake

Beschrijving

Screen Stay Awake sends a request to your visitor’s browser asking it to keep their device’s screen on and prevent locking. This happens in the background and no user prompt is required. Screen Stay Awake is important for recipe websites and other how-to, informational websites. In these cases a visitor may go long periods without interacting with your site but still want to be able to read your content.

To accomplish this, Screen Stay Awake uses the Screen Wake Lock browser API. The request is sent on page load. Some browsers, such as iOS Safari, require the user to interact with your site prior to honoring the wake lock request. In these cases, Screen Stay Awake will also request the screen stay on after clicks, touches, and scrolls.

For information on browser support, please view the WakeLock: request() Documentation

FAQ

Can I disable Screen Stay Awake on some pages?

The Screen Stay Awake script can be excluded by post type, archive type, and on 404 pages using the plugin settings.

If you need customized logic, you can use the filter scrnsa_stayawake_should_enqueue to determine if the script should enqueue. Return a boolean value based on your logic and the script will either enqueue or not.

I have several sites but, in particular, I was wanting the WPRM (WordPress Recipe Maker) plugin owner to set his “Keep Screen Active” feature to default at “enabled” but he never would. So, I thoroughly tested this “Screen Stay Awake” plugin with no hits on my PSI performance metrics. After that, I was then able to remove the “Keep Screen Active” feature from the WPRM recipe plugin template (which helped a small amount on performance metrics). I also liked the simple easy-to-use settings so I could disable it everywhere else except on just my posts, which is where all the recipes are. So, DarnGoodRecipes thanks you for this plugin creation and it’s also used alongside this author’s Ad Commander Pro plugin with zero issues.

Thanks for this singular feature plugin. Saved me from having to buy a premium recipe plugin for a family recipe site. Appreciated!

I am thrilled this plugin has been made! I had been trying to implement NoSleep JS on my own and it was a struggle. Took a break from it and found out someone created this plugin that does exactly what I need. I’m so grateful!
