Mobile exit-intent triggers: beyond the desktop cursor trick
Standard exit-intent scripts only detect mouse movement, failing on mobile where over half of traffic may come from. A developer shares a JavaScript helper that uses fast upward scroll or inactivity on touch devices. The approach fires once and avoids annoying users with premature overlays.

Practical fix for a common oversight, but exit-intent overlays themselves remain a user-experience trade-off that many visitors dislike.
