What is Timer Script in Blogger

Timer Script is the script that is used to hold the visitors on a particular page. In this script, JavaScript is used to decide the timer. Suppose any visitor wants to download something from that particular page. So if he or she gets the file there, then that person will download it and move away from that page.

This action increases the Bounce Rate on the Website. So, to decrease the bounce rate of any website, people use a timer script. After the timer ends, then only the person can get the file. Unless the timer ends ticking, he or she has to wait for that particular file.
