The Auto Refresh Auto Clicker is a powerful enhancement that allows Auto Refresh Page to refresh a webpage by automatically clicking a specific button, link, or element, rather than doing a full page reload (like pressing F5). This is ideal for pages that already include a built-in refresh mechanism—such as a stock ticker or an email inbox link—saving time and resources while keeping content up to date.
Example 1: Selecting an Element to Auto-Click
Follow these steps to auto-click a button labeled “Refresh” on a webpage:
- Open Advanced Options in the extension.
- Check the option “Refresh by clicking a link or button.”
- Click the Find button (cursor icon) to select the element directly from the page.
- Click Start to begin automatic refreshing via element click.
Once configured, Auto Refresh Page will simulate a user click on that specific element at your defined interval.
Window which opened after clicked find button (cursor icon).
Additional Controls
Auto-Click After Page Reload
Want the element clicked after a standard page reload?
Enable the “Click after page refresh” option. This will first reload the entire page using a regular browser refresh, then automatically click your selected element.
Add a Click Delay
Need to give the page time to load before the click happens?
Simply enter a delay (in seconds) in the Delay field.
For example:
- A value of 3 means the page will reload
- Wait 3 seconds
- Then automatically click the chosen button or link
