Pliitz Splash Screen

Pliitz shows a brief, polished overlay when a visitor arrives — a welcome moment for your logo, a seasonal image or an animation — then fades away to reveal the site.

• Splash types — a Logo / Text screen (your logo plus optional heading and sub-text on a colour or gradient background), or an Image splash. SVG, Lottie and Web Video are available in Pro.
• Full styling — colour or gradient backgrounds, an optional contained card, and a complete typography panel (font, size, weight, italic, colour, alignment, spacing, transform) for the heading and sub-text.
• Timing — set the delay, fade-in, hold and fade-out, with a live readout so you can tune the feel.
• Frequency — show once per session, once per day, once per week, once per visitor, or every page load. Each splash remembers visitors independently.
• Multiple splashes — create several named splashes and switch the active one; only one shows at a time.
• Scheduled splashes (Pro) — schedule a splash to take over from the default for a window: a one-off date range, or a date that repeats every year (e.g. a holiday), with a priority tie-breaker.
• Cache-safe & accessible — the show/seen logic runs client-side so it works with page caching, respects reduced-motion, and ships with a live editor preview.

Built modularly, with all CSS and JS in separate files (no inline styles or scripts).

Pliitz Pro

Everything described above is in this free plugin and stays free. There is no trial, no time limit and no feature locked behind a key.

Pliitz Pro is an optional, separate add-on for animated splash types (animated SVG, Lottie and Web Video), your WordPress Font Library typefaces, and date scheduling with a calendar. It is a subscription: it renews automatically until you cancel, and you can cancel at any time. Pricing and the billing period are shown at checkout.

Pro is distributed from robart-illustration.eu and is not downloaded from WordPress.org. None of its code — no licence field, no activation, no downloader — is included in this plugin.

External Services

The free plugin makes NO external requests at all. It contacts no third-party service, sends no data anywhere, and does not track visitors. There is no licence key, no activation and no telemetry in this plugin.

Features that load third-party content when you choose to use them:

• YouTube video splashes (Pro) — if you set a splash to a YouTube video, the visitor’s browser loads the video from YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com) and the editor loads a preview thumbnail from i.ytimg.com. This happens only on splashes you configure this way, and YouTube may set cookies or log the request under its own terms: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms and https://policies.google.com/privacy

Pliitz Pro (a separate add-on, not distributed here):

• Pro is downloaded from robart-illustration.eu and is not part of this plugin. If you install it, it validates your licence key and checks for its own updates against https://robart-illustration.eu, sending the key, your site URL and the installed version. None of that code is in this free plugin — there is no licence field, no activation and no downloader here. Privacy policy: https://robart-illustration.eu/privacy-policy-rob-art-illustration/

No other external service is contacted. The splash typefaces are bundled with the plugin, so no font is fetched from Google Fonts or any other CDN.

Privacy

Pliitz stores no personal data and sets no tracking cookies.

Whether a visitor has already seen a splash is kept in that visitor’s own browser, using localStorage and sessionStorage under a key unique to each splash. It holds only a timestamp. It is never sent to the server, never shared, and is not readable by this or any other site. Clearing browsing data removes it.

The optional activation log records aggregate counts (how often a splash was shown) and does not store IP addresses, user agents or any visitor identifier.

Uninstall

Deactivating the plugin stops the splash immediately and changes nothing else.

Deleting the plugin keeps your data by default, so that reinstalling restores your splashes and settings exactly as they were.

If you would rather remove everything, tick Settings → Maintenance → “Delete all data on uninstall” before you delete the plugin. With that enabled, deleting Pliitz removes:

• all splash screens and their settings;
• the plugin’s options (settings, licence record, install date, review-prompt state, database version);
• the activation-log database table;
• the cached tier record.

Logos and images chosen from the Media Library are left alone — they belong to your Media Library, not to Pliitz. Data kept in a visitor’s own browser is not ours to delete; it expires on its own or when the visitor clears their browsing data.
