Description

Title Bar Switcher is a simple but powerful plugin that dynamically updates your browser tab title and favicon when visitors switch to another tab.
This effect acts like a tab notification plugin and helps recapture attention, improve engagement, and reduce bounce rate.

The plugin works instantly when users leave the tab, creating an “attention booster” effect.
Great for blogs, e-commerce sites, educational sites, landing pages, and any website looking to increase user retention.

Features:
* Change browser tab title when the visitor leaves the page (inactive tab title)
* Restore the original title when the visitor returns
* Optional favicon switching with a simple URL field (dynamic favicon support)
* Realistic browser tab preview with title + favicon + close icon
* Lightweight, fast, and JS-only (no jQuery)
* Translation ready and fully compatible with caching plugins
* Ideal for improving user engagement, dwell time, and retention

Does this affect SEO?

No. Title changes only appear when the browser tab is inactive and revert immediately upon return, so it has no negative SEO impact.

Is setting a second favicon required?

No. Leaving the field blank keeps your default favicon unchanged.

Will it work with any theme?

Yes. Works with any WordPress theme since it’s JavaScript-based and does not touch theme files.

Is there a delay option?

No. The title and favicon switch happen instantly without delay.
