External links are a two-length sword for web designers. On the one hand, they add weight to work and improve custom experience. On the other hand, they can give users an excuse to leave your site and go to another.

  • 📌 External links are an integral part of quality work.
  • 📌 External links can induce users to leave the site.
  • 📌 Slideframe allows you to open external links directly on your site.

The problem of external links lies in the fact that they can distract users from your site, despite their importance for providing complete information. Slideframe, created by the designer and developer of Jonas Pelzer, allows you to open external links in the form of a dynamic overlay, preventing users from leaving your site.

Slideframe can be integrated into almost any website, but there are some restrictions, such as the impossibility of reference to non-Https sites due to safety restrictions and lack of mobile versions.

🧩 The result: Slideframe is an effective tool for improving your custom experience and reducing the refusal indicator, allowing you to open external links directly on the site, despite some restrictions.
🧠 Own considerations: The idea of ​​slideframe looks very promising, because it solves the current problem of outflow of users through external links. At the same time, it is important to continue working to overcome the restrictions of this tool, in particular, to support mobile versions.
