ReloadEvery is a Useful Add-on for Firefox
September 5th, 2009
I spend a lot of time looking at real time stats pages for websites. One of the problems I have run into is that I have to hit the refresh button every time I look at a particular stats page to make sure the numbers are up to date.
I found that the ReloadEvery add-on for Firefox written by Jaap Haitsma really helps. This little add-on allows you to have pages refresh at custom intervals. The nice part is that you can customize the refresh rate individually for different tabs. So you can have one tab refresh every 30 seconds, and a different one refresh every 5 minutes. So now I can have 5 or 6 tabs open to stats pages and switch back and forth without worrying that the data is an hour old.
It’s a really simple, easy to use add-on that can be surprisingly useful if you need. Take a look at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/115
