Wield Power of Auto Refresh

AutoRefresher works on any site, no allowlist, no per-site setup. And setup is the same on every site:

  1. Choose a Page

    Load the page you want refreshed in your active tab — tab that is currently visible in your browser.

    • Repeated Page Refreshing

      Pick 1 of 3 interval timers defining gap between 2 page refreshes. This is how you automatically refresh a web page as many times as you want.

    • Single Scheduled Refresh

      Sometimes what matters is a moment instead of a rhythm. Set a time and AutoRefresher reloads the tab once, at exactly that hour and minute.

  2. Press Start

    One click on ‘Start’ button is all that remains. Keep in mind that you can repeat this process to add more pages, each on its own timer. You can refresh a page repeatedly in one tab every few seconds, another every hour while another refreshes only once, on a time of your choice. Just remember to load a page in your active tab before clicking start!

Where Auto Refresh Shines

Appointments

Government booking portals release slots without warning. Keep the page reloading and track appointment slots the moment they appear.

Jobs

Filtered searches on LinkedIn, Indeed and Upwork have stable URLs. Refresh one on a timer to track new job listings before they collect applicants.

Auto Refreshing, by itself, simply asks the page to update its content; it doesn’t tell you what changed. Feature that does that is page monitoring — two features meant to run on the same tab together.

No Limits | No Freemium Baits

Most refresh extensions are free until they aren’t. The interval you actually need sits behind a subscription. Number of tabs you can refresh simultaneously is capped. Ad panels start appearing everywhere, and you don’t even know that your auto refresh extension is the culprit. AutoRefresher has no paid tier, no ads, and no such surprises waiting for you.

AutoRefresher is actually a free page refresh extension in the plain sense. Genuinely free Chrome auto refresh extensions are, no matter what they tell you, not common at all. AutoRefresher is a rare example of such an extension.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many tabs can I refresh at the same time?

As many as your browser will hold. There is no cap in the extension — each tab runs its own process on its own interval, independently of the others.

What is the shortest refresh interval?

One second is the floor the extension accepts, and two seconds is the shortest that reloads reliably on any page, however heavy. Whatever you pick, it is not gated: the fastest interval is available without paying, which is the part most extensions charge for. Sites can still rate-limit you at very short intervals — that is the site’s rule, not a limit in the extension.

Is auto reload the same as auto refresh?

Different words for the same action, and this extension answers to both. If you searched for a Chrome auto reload extension, or for how to auto reload in Chrome, this is the tool you were looking for. Some listings say addon instead of extension — a Chrome auto refresh addon and a Chrome auto refresh extension are the same thing.

Do I need an account?

No. Install the Chrome auto refresh extension, open a tab, set an interval. Nothing is created, nothing syncs to a server, and nothing asks for an email.
