Timeout ping

Plugin details

This plugin helps keep the browser tab active and awake by sending a console.log("ping") message every X seconds. It prevents the page from going idle — useful for apps where background activity is essential (e.g. dashboards, timers, live data feeds, music players, etc.).
Simply drop the element on the page, set the interval, and it will automatically start pinging the console on load.

Instructions

⚙️ How It Works
The plugin adds an invisible element to the page.

It sends a console.log("ping from [instance UID]") to the browser every X seconds.

This low-effort activity helps prevent tab suspension by browsers like Chrome when idle.

✅ How to Use

Install the Plugin
From the Bubble Plugin Marketplace or via your private plugin list.

Add the Element
In the Design tab, drag the “Ping Element” onto the page.

Set the Ping Interval
In the property editor:

Set Ping Interval (in seconds) — for example: 30.

✅ Done!
When the page loads in Run Mode, you’ll see ping from ping_XXXXXX in the browser console every X seconds.
