Almost all websites with authentication has a session timeout. If you are inactive in the website for some time then your session may be expired. You need to login again to perform any action in the website.

This extension will keep your session from expiring by reloading your website in the background. This will keep your session alive without manually reloading website even you are inactive in the website for long period of time. Background page request This option keep the session alive by requesting page in the background using AJAX requests, and page reload is not required and unsaved changes are not lost. Set the Background trigger URL as your website dashboard/ welcome URL, set the Interval and save. Navigate to the Trigger URL in a New Tab and Your session is now alive!

Automatic stopping of Background page request The rule is automatically stopped by analyzing the server response.

Foreground page reload The Background page reload will not be enough to keep the session alive, if websites implements JavaScript idle timer in the browser itself. The Foreground page reload option can overcome this limitation. This option keep the session alive by auto-reloading current page in the browser.

Does not work. I am bombarded with "Background request rules stopped! The server response was not 200 OK!" What does that even mean? I could find no help other than a six-year-old GitHub post that doesn't help. I wish it did work. It seems nice.

Works great. I use it to keep me logged into Blackboard and my college website. Some sites can take a bit of adjusting because each site has different ways of deciding when to log out a user. That's what great about this extenstion. It has lots of settings that can be adjusted to match how each website works.
