Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when the countdown reaches zero?
The tiles are replaced with a completion message showing the event name with a celebration emoji.
Is the countdown accurate?
It counts down based on the visitor's browser clock, which is synced to their device. It will be accurate to within a second.
Can I use it for a recurring event?
The current widget counts down to a single fixed date. For recurring events, you'd need to update the embed code each time.
What timezones does the date field use?
The date/time you enter will be treated as the local time of the server. For UK deadlines (like Self Assessment) this works perfectly.
Can I have multiple countdowns?
Yes — copy the code multiple times with different event names and dates.
