Our crawler was designed to automatically sniff out for and remove most popups...however there will be cases when it just missed yours.

But there is no need to panic.. 

Just enter the specific CSS Selector ( that's the technical term for the name of the object *ie a button or popup..anything really ) that you want to hide while we take the screenshots.

Step 1


We recommend installing this free and simple Chrome CSS browser extension.

1.1 After installing, pin it to your browser so you can see it:


1.2 click on the icon

1.3 click to Enable it

1.4 Hover over the item you want to hide, then right-click and select

Alternatively you can try this other chrome addon:


And if all all else fails....
simply select the time directly via Chrome Dev Tools ( like so )

Step 2

Click  +Create Sitemap  > Advanced Settings

and paste the CSS Selector into this field:

  • This could be either a CSS .class or a CSS #id

Pro-Tip! you can enter multiple selectors to hide multiple objects during the full crawl!

enjoy!
