Almost all websites with authentication has a session timeout. If you are inactive in the website for some time then your session may be expired. You need to login again to perform any action in the website.
This extension will keep your session from expiring by reloading your website in the background. This will keep your session alive without manually reloading website even you are inactive in the website for long period of time.
Background page request
This option keep the session alive by requesting page in the background using AJAX requests, and page reload is not required and unsaved changes are not lost.
Set the Background trigger URL as your website dashboard/ welcome URL, set the Interval and save. Navigate to the Trigger URL in a New Tab and Your session is now alive!
Automatic stopping of Background page request
The rule is automatically stopped by analyzing the server response.
Foreground page reload
The Background page reload will not be enough to keep the session alive, if websites implements JavaScript idle timer in the browser itself. The Foreground page reload option can overcome this limitation.
This option keep the session alive by auto-reloading current page in the browser.
Automatic stopping of Foreground page reload
The rule is automatically stopped if the user navigates away from the Trigger URL.
Notifications
Browser Notifications can be set for the page reload success/ fail conditions.

The rule can be disabled if you want to temporarily stop the rule from triggering.
Easily create and edit rules in the settings page, and also try the different options available to suit your needs.

- (2025-07-14) Craig M.: Works perfectly for Australian ImmiAccount / LegendCom purposes.
- (2025-04-08) R. M.: The page is an Internet Banking page, but I guess there is an iddle js running in background. I've tried to use the foreground option but it does not work. The page set is not being load to keep the session really alive.
- (2025-01-23) David: Works very well with no issues.
- (2025-01-13) David H: Will not automatically start. I added a rule for a URL, but when I logged in the next day and clicked the extension icon, it says "No Rules are running". You have to go into settings and manually start the rule each time!
- (2024-08-02) leafbelly: Does not work. I am bombarded with "Background request rules stopped! The server response was not 200 OK!" What does that even mean? I could find no help other than a six-year-old GitHub post that doesn't help. I wish it did work. It seems nice.
- (2024-03-25) Wayne Goode: Works great. I use it to keep me logged into Blackboard and my college website. Some sites can take a bit of adjusting because each site has different ways of deciding when to log out a user. That's what great about this extenstion. It has lots of settings that can be adjusted to match how each website works.

- (2024-03-11) Adam Cadman: I use this on Salesforce sites as when I have many different Orgs open, trying to keep them all logged in is a PITA. This has saved SO much time! It also works on the Brave web browser
- (2024-02-02) Shiri BK: Does the job, but not easy to use. Once I click the plugin to add rule to the page, the default is 5mins. To edit, i need to go to settings page and update but it still doesn't reflect on the icon.
- (2024-01-25) Marvin Powell: Doesn't work whatsoever...
- (2023-11-18) A A: Doesn't work for my online banking site which is what I mainly need something like this for.
- (2023-08-02) Marfield Bautista: Works great especially with quillbot that constantly logs me out randomly.

- (2023-04-14) Suri Kužomast: I can't believe I didn't think of searching for an extension like this earlier. I'm tied to some websites where if you're not active for 5-10 minutes, it logs you out. I used to log back in to the websites twenty times a day. With this extension, I only have to log in once and I stay logged in for the whole day

- (2022-10-05) EPC IT: Super simple and just keeps my various web portals alive in the background so I don't have to re-log in a million times a day when I look away for 2 minutes! Worked great and very easy to understand.

- (2022-09-30) THANK THE MAKER! Finally a Chromium replacement for Staying Alive! I was crushed when Staying Alive was no longer in the store. This is a sanity saver for those using sites all day for work that keep timing out at just the wrong time and keep logging back in 10-100 times a day. Very familiar settings for anyone that used Staying Alive before.
