This feature controls what happens when more than one floating widget is scheduled to appear at the same time. Instead of showing them all at once, it smartly queues them or skips some, based on your chosen setting.
Why it matters
Imagine a visitor opens your site and triggers a promo banner, a lead gen popup, and a feedback form — all within seconds. Without any rules in place, they'd overlap, creating a frustrating experience. Annoyance Safeguard ensures that doesn’t happen.
It helps you:
Prevent popup fatigue.
Keep your offers and messages visible and digestible.
Respect the visitor’s attention without sacrificing conversions.
How it works
By default, all Claspo templates use the ‘Show in sequence using Silent Interval’ option — the safest choice for most use cases.
Here’s what each option does:
Show — the widget will appear even if others are already on screen.
Show in sequence using Silent Interval — the widget will wait its turn and display after the previous one, using a short delay (3 minutes by default).
Don’t show during the current session — the widget will be skipped entirely if another was already shown.
Note
Silent Interval applies only to floating widgets — popups, floating boxes and bars — and doesn't affect built-in widgets, launchers and content blocking widgets.
The best part? You don’t need to configure anything — all Claspo templates come with the smart defaults to avoid visual clutter. By default, we’ve set a considerate 3-minute silence interval — but you can easily adjust it based on how long users stay on your site.
Or, if you’d rather control it by the number of pageviews instead of time, just head to Triggering → Annoyance Safeguard → How it works.
Then go to Annoyance Safeguard → Silent Interval.
Claspo also includes Overlap Protection, which determines how widgets interact when more than one is triggered at the same time. This ensures your site never becomes cluttered or confusing.
If a widget might overlap another, Claspo automatically decides how to display it:
Shown above the previous one — appears on top of what’s already visible.
Shown under the previous one — waits and becomes visible after the current widget is closed.
Shown after Silent Interval — appears later, after the delay you’ve set in the Annoyance Safeguard.
Won’t be shown — suppressed completely to prevent visual conflict.
For example:
If a launcher is already on screen, a popup or floating bar can still appear, but another launcher won’t.
When a floating bar, floating box or popup is open, another one will wait its turn or show after the Silent Interval.
A content-blocking widget always takes priority and will appear above others.
This logic keeps your interface clean and intuitive — no overlapping popups, no stacked banners, and no frustrated visitors.
