When you visit a website for the first time, you may sometimes encounter an annoying ad or offer that overlays the content. While this is usually not a problem when monitoring websites for changes, it can still sometimes cause false-positive alerts if screenshots capture the content overlaid with the popup. These popups may only appear once, or for specific visitors or geographic locations.

The "Hide Website Overlays & Popups" Action

To mitigate false positives, we highly recommend using the "Hide website overlays & popups" action on affected pages. Keep in mind that this may not work on all pages.

Alternative Approach

If the "Hide website overlays & popups" action did not work, or if all content on the page becomes invisible, you can manually target the overlay with the "Remove page element" action to exclude it.
