Countdown

Use the Countdown module to display a live timer that counts down to a target date and time.

Usage​

The Countdown module outputs a live timer that ticks down to a specific date and time. Each time unit — days, hours, minutes, and seconds — displays as a labeled number block. Choosing the Numbers + Circles layout wraps each unit in an animated SVG circle that fills as the unit's time progresses.

Use the Countdown module to build urgency for limited-time offers, event registrations, product launches, or sale deadlines. The optional redirect setting automatically sends visitors to a new URL once the countdown reaches zero, so the page responds to the event end without manual updates.

The Countdown module settings control the target date and time, redirect behavior, and visual styling of the timer.
