Popup Zen – Small, Simple, Lightweight Email Optin

I like the philosophy : very simple and efficient. You won’t find all the options of some other plugins of this type but you may need something not complicated.

Clean and simple

I've used a number of popup plugins and they always seem overly complicated. Popup Zen wasn't like that at all. I installed it, connected my mailchimp account and had a pop-up created in under 5 minutes.

Dead. Simple.

Popup Zen just became my new favorite popup tool. Thanks, Scott!

5 Minute Setup

I had to use some CSS-adjustments with custom classes. For example, there is no spot to properly show some privacy information, so I used a custom class in to content area to display this small text.
I also had problems with the image: When I deactivated "do not crop", it wouldn't display. (Maybe something with lazyload?) With cropping disabled the banner looks kind of awful, so I used CSS to cover that up.

works well after some adjustments

This plugin got me a 5% improvement on my GTMetrix score. That's a huge bump. The lightweight scripts and clean CSS delivered and compiled into the site was a major advantage.

Previously, I had configured the standard Mailchimp popup on the MC site and integrated using the MC4WP plugin. It was loading 2-5 remote scripts, remote images, and remote CSS which created extra HTTP requests and added anywhere from 300-500k to a page load.

This plugin eliminated the remote script loading lag, allowed scripts to be combined, served from our Cloudflare cache ... 

BOTTOM LINE: it's a must have if you want a modern popup solution that is unobtrusive to your clients visually and in terms of site performance.

p.s. I would love to see an option to alter the amount of time that the thank you message is shown after someone submits their email!
