Frequently asked questions
Is the website countdown timer free?
Yes. The widget is free to use on any site, with no signup, no ads inside the widget and no usage limits you need to manage.
How do I add the countdown timer to my website?
Set up the timer above, copy the embed code and paste it into an HTML or embed block on your page. Most site builders — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify — have one.
Does the timer show the right time for every visitor?
Yes. Holiday widgets count down to midnight in each visitor’s own time zone. A custom date counts to the exact moment you set, so everyone sees the same time left.
Does the widget use cookies or track visitors?
No. The widget sets no cookies and loads no analytics or trackers — it is a small page that shows the countdown and a “Made with countdowns.me” link.
Can I change the language?
Yes. The widget is available in English, Ukrainian, Polish, German, Spanish and Portuguese, including the right plural forms for days and hours.
What happens when the countdown ends?
The widget shows a short celebration message instead of zeros. Holiday widgets then move on to the next year automatically.
