== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I get a site key? =

Contact LeadBlaze support to obtain a site key for your domain.

= Can I customize the widget appearance? =

Yes! The plugin supports light and dark themes, and you can further customize it with CSS variables.

= Can I change the "Contact us" header text? =

Yes! Use the `headerTitle` config option to set custom text, or set `showHeader` to `false` to hide it entirely.

= What is the preview chat bubble? =

When the floating widget is collapsed, a small chat bubble message automatically appears after visitors scroll 25% of the page. Clicking it opens the chat. It only shows once per browser session and auto-dismisses after 10 seconds. This feature is enabled by default and requires no configuration.

= Does it work with page builders? =

Yes, the shortcode works with all major page builders including Elementor, Divi, and Gutenberg.

= Is the widget mobile-friendly? =

Absolutely! The widget is fully responsive and adapts to all screen sizes.

= Can I show the widget only on specific pages? =

Yes, you can configure it to show on all pages, home page only, or specific pages by ID.


= Will it slow down my site? =

No, the widget is optimized for performance at only ~25KB gzipped and loads asynchronously.

= Can I have multiple widgets on the same page? =

Yes, you can use multiple shortcodes with different configurations on the same page.
