Energy Saver Smart

Energy Saver Smart dims the page after a configurable period of inactivity, helping you reduce the visual impact of idle sessions without interrupting active visitors.

Version 1.3.5 fixes overlay timing when visitors return to a tab, prevents passive tab-reactivation events from immediately dismissing the overlay, and keeps the optional explicit resume mode that waits for a click or scroll.

Features

• Configurable idle timeout with validation.
• Overlay enable/disable toggle.
• Adjustable overlay background opacity.
• Optional logo visibility.
• Optional mobile disable.
• Optional WooCommerce exclusions for cart, checkout, and account pages.
• Manual exclusions by URL path and CSS selector.
• Automatic suppression while users type in fields or play audio/video.
• Per-language overlay messages for English, Italian, French, German, and Spanish.
• Optional frontend language selection based on the visitor browser.
• Support contact shown in plugin settings.
• Clean uninstall routine.

1. Upload the folder energy-saver-smart into /wp-content/plugins/.
2. Activate the plugin from the WordPress Plugins screen.
3. Go to Settings > Energy Saver Smart to configure the overlay.
