HashBar is designed to be lightweight. If you want numbers for your own site, run a speed test before and after you publish a bar or popup.

Show bars and popups by page (all pages, the homepage, specific pages and posts, or all except some), device (desktop, tablet, mobile), user type (logged-in or guest) and time on site. Popups also support new vs returning visitors and referrer rules in Pro.

Announcement Bars and Popup Campaigns run site-wide from the HashBar dashboard, so they do not depend on a page builder. The classic Notification Bar adds Gutenberg blocks (4, or 9 with Pro) and shortcodes you can place in any builder.

Yes! You can set start and end dates with specific times in both site and visitor timezones. Pro adds recurring schedules with day-of-week and time-of-day targeting for maximum control.

A/B testing (Pro feature) lets you create multiple design variants of your bars and popups. Traffic is split between variants, and HashBar tracks performance metrics for each. For announcement bars HashBar recommends a winner using a significance test; for popups it highlights the leading variant once each has at least 100 impressions.
