About

A virtual waiting room is a page that holds visitors away from a busy website and feeds them back to the protected website at a rate it can handle while still maintaining responsiveness and performance. This means websites can handle unexpected or sudden peaks in traffic without website crashes, and without having to waste energy powering additional servers when things are not busy, so it's green tech too. Fair virtual waiting rooms pass visitors back in first-come, first-served order. A good virtual waiting room should also keep the visitor fully informed of their progress and remaining wait. There's nothing worse for your business than a crashed site. High-demand sales don't just damage your servers, they damage your reputation. Protect your customers' goodwill with a smooth branded journey. Show your customers that fairness matters with our proprietary first-in, first-out virtual waiting room technology, invented by us and originally patented in 2004.

You can create a Virtual Waiting Room on our Free Tier right now. Our Free Tier gives you more than any other Virtual Waiting Room provider, and is ideal if you want to try out Queue-Fair, with full Portal access and a range of branding options for your Queue Pages included. You won't find a more comprehensive free Virtual Waiting Room or free online queue offering anywhere.

If you are running a busier website or mobile app, require full HTML control, need multiple queues or Queue-Fair's advanced security features, then our Unlimited Service is better suited to your needs. We have a range of pricing plans to suit your use-case and offer a 25% discount guarantee against any comparable surge protection quote, so you can be sure of getting the best rates from us - full details. We are also happy to arrange a Free Trial for you.

There is no limit to the size of the queue (capacity) on either plan - Queue-Fair will queue as many people as you need, and add them to the queue as fast as they arrive.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It makes any website well optimized for users and search engines. It also adds an image optimizer which helps to reduce the loading times from the website. It secures and gives HTTPS tag for your website.

Cons

  • Fastly Cloud CDN worked outstanding for me. I highly recommend this CDN service

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Queue-Fair were an absolute lifesaver for us. We ran into serious traffic issues on launch day, and their team stepped in immediately. They helped us stabilise everything quickly, and when we relaunched 24 hours later, the queuing system worked flawlessly. Every step of the way, their support was quick, clear, and genuinely reassuring. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended.
  • Honestly the support has been the best part. Any question we had, they got back to us fast and actually understood what we were trying to do. Also there are integration guides for basically everything, so setting it up was way less painful than I thought it would be.
  • Cost, Service and Technology. All good, all well explained and a smooth integration process. Great customer care in terms of recommendations to save money.
  • Path-level protection of just the checkout flow; true FIFO queuing with a visible position counter; multiple simultaneous queues per event; scalper-bot filtering; setup took minutes with one line of code; usage-based pricing suits event-driven traffic spikes; responsive support.
  • I appreciate Queue-Fair’s simple portal and the transparent graphs, which provide clear insight during traffic peaks. Adjusting the queue is very straightforward, giving us a great deal of control and confidence during busy ticket sales. The API integration has been transparent and seamless, resulting in a better experience for our end users. In addition, the initial setup was very easy and was supported by a strong onboarding session.

Cons

  • Everything was superb - no cons at all. They couldn't have been more helpful and everything worked perfectly.
  • Nothing really so far. We haven't been using it for very long, so ask me again after a few more big sales 🙂
  • None as of yet. A very good start to our relationship.
  • Nothing significant so far — it's done what we needed it to do
  • Some of the wording in the portal is not immediately clear if you are not yet familiar with everything the product can do. However, there was always enough explanation available to quickly understand what each option meant. Another minor point is that there is a lot of information and documentation available on the website. Fortunately, you certainly don't need to read all of it before you can start using the product effectively.
