Why publishers use it

Always fresh

Your evergreen articles stay accurate. The widget polls live data every 5 minutes — your readers always see the current security situation, not a number you wrote three months ago.

Zero maintenance

Paste once. Forget forever. No version updates, no API keys to rotate, no rate limits.

Better engagement

Live data keeps readers on your page longer and gives Google a strong freshness signal for evergreen content.

Won't break your site

Sandboxed iframe means our widget can't touch your CSS, scripts, or layout. Lazy-loaded by default — no Core Web Vitals hit.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Free for any publisher. We don't gate it behind an API key or signup. We ask only that the small "Powered by TakeoffTimer.com" attribution remains visible.

How often does the widget update?

Every 5 minutes. The widget polls our live TSA data API automatically — readers always see the most recent reading from airport checkpoint systems and TSA sources.

Will it work on WordPress / Squarespace / Wix / Substack?

Yes. The iframe snippet works in any HTML or "Code Block" module — including WordPress (Custom HTML block), Squarespace (Code block), Wix, Webflow, Ghost, and Substack. The JavaScript snippet works on the same platforms when you can paste a script tag.

Is it accessible (WCAG / ADA)?

Yes. The widget uses semantic HTML, ARIA live regions, keyboard-focusable links, and color contrast meeting WCAG AA on both light and dark themes.

How many airports are supported?

All 250+ U.S. airports tracked by TSA. Major hubs and regional airports alike. The widget gracefully shows historical averages if real-time data isn't available for a given airport at a given moment.

Can I customize the size or colors?

The widget is mobile-responsive and ships with light + dark themes. Custom colors, dimensions, and white-label options are coming in v2 — drop a note via the contact page if you have specific needs.

Where does the data come from?

We aggregate from official airport checkpoint systems (live, when available) and TSA-published sources, with intelligent fallbacks. Learn more about our data sources.
