Aluleth Popups

Aluleth Popups shows your offers, sign-up forms and announcements at the right moment, without slowing your site down or annoying your visitors.

Everything is included in the free plugin: unlimited popups, exit intent, scroll and time triggers, targeting rules and statistics. Nothing is locked.

Five kinds of popups

• Centered popup, with the page dimmed behind it.

• Slide-in in a corner: it never blocks reading.

• Top or bottom bar. A top bar shown when the page opens is part of the page: it pushes the page down instead of covering it.

• Full screen, for big events.

• In the content: a sign-up box at the end of your articles.

When it opens

• When the visitor is leaving: the mouse goes to the browser tabs on computers, a quick scroll back up on phones.

• After scrolling part of the page.

• After some time on the page, or after a pause.

• When someone clicks a button or a link (two-step opt-in): use the link #aluleth-popup-12 anywhere, the shortcode [aluleth_popup_link id="12"]Get the guide[/aluleth_popup_link] or your own CSS selector.

• As soon as the page opens.

• How often: every visit, once every few days or only once. Never again once the visitor has signed up, and only one covering popup per visit if you want.

• Start and end dates.

Who sees it

Pages, content types, blog categories, device, new or returning visitors, logged-in visitors, user roles, the website they come from, the campaign (UTM) and the page address. When several popups could open at the same moment, your priority order decides.

Ask first

Start with a simple Yes / No question and show the form only after “Yes”. Visitors say yes more often when the first step is small.

Forms and contacts

With the free Aluleth Forms plugin, a popup can show any of your forms: multi-step forms, conditional fields, anti-spam, payments. The people who sign up become contacts in Aluleth, with “Signed up from the popup …” in their history. Without Aluleth Forms, a popup can show a button, a text or the shortcode of another form plugin.

Fast, accessible and Google-friendly

• The script and styles load only on pages where a popup can open, after the page is shown. Popups are not drawn before they open and never move the page content.

• Every popup is a real dialog: it closes with Esc, keeps the keyboard focus inside while open and gives it back when closed. Visitors who turned off animations never see one.

• On phones, centered and full screen popups become a panel at the bottom of the screen. The editor warns you when a popup could hurt your Google ranking on phones.

Statistics

Times shown, sign-ups and clicks, conversion rate and closes for each popup, for 7 days, 30 days or 12 months, and in the Aluleth dashboard. One number per popup and per day: no cookie and no personal data.

Live preview

A four-step editor (Design, When, Who, Review) with a live preview on a computer or a phone, the settings explained in plain words, and a “Try it on the site” link that opens the popup for you only.

External services

Aluleth Popups itself does not contact any outside service.

Popups, their settings and their statistics stay on your site: views, closes and clicks are counted by your own site (a request to its own /wp-json/aluleth-popups/v1/track address with the popup number, what happened, the kind of device – phone, tablet or computer – and the page address without its query string; no name or identifier is sent, and the plugin stores no IP address: to stop scripts from filling the statistics, a salted one-way hash of the visitor’s address is kept for two minutes, then deleted), and the choices of each visitor (closed, already seen) are kept in their own browser.

When Aluleth Forms is active, the services you connect in Aluleth Forms (for example your email marketing tool) receive the sign-ups made in popups, as described in that plugin.

Shared Aluleth screens

Aluleth Popups comes with the screens shared by all Aluleth plugins (Aluleth › Settings and Aluleth › Connections). They are mostly used by Aluleth Forms and the other Aluleth plugins. None of the services below is contacted unless you paste your own key or address in one of these screens.

With Aluleth Popups alone, that is only when you click a “Save and check”, “Connect” or “Send a test” button there, and, once captcha keys are saved, when you open Aluleth › Settings › Security: it shows the service’s test check, which loads its script in your browser.

• Mailchimp ( *.api.mailchimp.com ), email marketing. When you connect your account in Aluleth › Connections, your API key is sent to read your lists, tags and fields. Terms of use, Privacy policy.

• Brevo ( api.brevo.com ), email marketing. Same use and data as Mailchimp. Terms of use, Privacy policy.

• MailerLite ( connect.mailerlite.com ), email marketing. Same use and data. Terms of service, Privacy policy.

• Mautic, marketing automation that you host yourself: the address of your own Mautic and its API user, sent only to that address. Mautic privacy policy.

• Telegram ( api.telegram.org ), messaging. When you connect a bot, its token is sent to read the bot’s name and the chats that wrote to it. Terms of service, Privacy policy.

• Discord ( https://discord.com/api/webhooks/…; the discordapp.com, canary.discord.com and ptb.discord.com forms of the same address are accepted), chat. A message is posted to the channel webhook address you paste, and nowhere else. It is sent only when another Aluleth plugin sends an alert (for example, with Aluleth Forms, a new form entry with its answers and a link to it), or when you click “Send a test” (a sample message with no personal data). Aluleth Popups alone sends no message to Discord. Terms of service, Privacy policy.

• Slack ( https://hooks.slack.com/services/… ), chat. Same use and data as Discord, to the Slack webhook address you paste. Terms of service, Privacy policy.

• Your own webhook addresses receive the same kind of message, only when another Aluleth plugin sends one or when you click “Send a test”.

• Captcha services, in Aluleth › Settings › Security: “Save and check the keys” sends your secret key and a test answer to the service you chose, to tell you whether the keys work. Cloudflare Turnstile ( challenges.cloudflare.com, for the test check and the key check): Terms of use, Privacy policy. hCaptcha ( js.hcaptcha.com for the test check, api.hcaptcha.com ): Terms of service, Privacy policy. Google reCAPTCHA ( www.google.com/recaptcha, for the test check and the key check): Terms of service, Privacy policy. CleanTalk ( moderate.cleantalk.org ), a short test message with your access key: Terms of service, Privacy policy. These services check visitors only on the forms of Aluleth Forms; Aluleth Popups adds no captcha to your pages.

• PayPal: the Payments settings and the PayPal code are only used with Aluleth Forms; they are hidden and never run with Aluleth Popups alone. User agreement, Privacy statement.
