The "Random Interval" feature of Auto Refresh Plus adds a dynamic edge to how pages are refreshed. Instead of fixed intervals, it allows pages to refresh at random times within a set range, perfect for avoiding detection on sites that track regular refresh patterns. This functionality is especially useful for competitive price monitoring or ensuring that page data remains fresh without a predictable pattern.
