WordPress Popups – How to Add a Popup to WordPress?

Hey folks :waving_hand:
I’ve been managing several WordPress sites for clients, and I’m seriously re-evaluating my popup strategy.

I originally used a combination of Popup Maker and Ninja Popup, but… ugh. Between page speed drops, lack of dynamic targeting, and rigid plugin updates, it’s been a bit of a headache.

I’m looking for smarter WordPress popup alternatives with:

  • Seamless integration (ideally no plugin)

  • Fast loading time

  • Gamified options (like spin-the-wheel)

  • Separate designs for desktop/mobile

  • Real analytics, not just views/clicks

Any recs? What are y’all using on your WordPress websites in 2025?
