Queue-Fair Description
A virtual waiting room is a page that keeps visitors away from busy websites and then feeds them back to the protected site at a pace it can handle, while maintaining responsiveness and performance.
Websites can handle sudden or unexpected peaks in traffic without a website crash. It also means that websites don't have to waste energy on additional servers when they are not busy. This makes it green tech, if implemented correctly.
Fair virtual waiting rooms return visitors in first-come first-served fashion. A good virtual waiting area should keep visitors informed about their progress and the remaining wait time.
A crashed website is the worst thing for your business. High-demand sales not only damage your servers but also damage your reputation. Smooth branding can help you protect your customers' goodwill.
Our original patented virtual waiting room technology allows you to show your customers that fairness is important while providing a fully branded customer journey.

Saved the day for us Date: Jul 17 2025
Summary: We have an event ticketing website which works great, but we have a couple of "scarcity events" where demand for tickets at the time they go on sale is tremendous.

Queue-fair have been great to answer questions and help us whenever we ran into roadblocks.
Positive: Easy to install and use, gives us lots of information about current and historical demand. Good quality support. It just works.
Negative: Some of our end users don't like the experience of being placed in a queue or waiting room, , but that's not really the products fault.
