Overview

About this plugin

Queue-Fair, the original patented online queue for busy websites, is the top rated Virtual Waiting Room in the world, according to review site G2.

When your site has more visitors than it can handle gracefully, the excess visitors are automatically sent away from your webservers to a branded online queue – it then sends visitors back to your site in first-come, first-served order at the rate that you desire, protecting your WordPress from web crashes due to high demand.

Our retail clients report that visitors who have seen a Queue Page add around 20% more to their shopping baskets.

com.

We queue hundreds of thousands of people every day.

By using the world’s most accurate, highest quality, most powerful and best value Virtual Waiting Room platform, you ensure that your site can keep selling at its optimum transaction rate. Your site visitors, shoppers, ticket buyers, and app users always get the responsive experience they require, even when you are really busy. They won’t see a crashed site.

More Orders

Even the world’s biggest companies get overwhelmed by peaks in demand, particularly sudden peaks. All webservers have limits, and when they are exceeded, your visitors experience a crashed site. Queue-Fair stops traffic peaks from crashing your site.

More Customers

Queue-Fair means you can serve new customers even when your servers are too busy to handle them. People who see an error page or no response at all from your site are unlikely to return – but you can reach all these people with Queue-Fair.

More Reliable
