Your CMS is built for articles, not live
Most news sites publish an article once and move on. But a breaking story, an election night, a product keynote or a World Cup doesn’t hold still: updates land every few minutes, and readers want the next one in seconds. A static article was never built for that.
Static articles can’t keep up
You re-edit the same story over and over, fight the cache so the update even shows, and readers still have to reload to see it.
Building it yourself is a project
A real live ticker needs live infrastructure, a proper editor and reliability under load. That is engineering work, not a quick plugin.
And then there’s privacy
Even if you build it, you own the cookies, the logged IPs and the consent every external embed needs to load.
Write, paste, done
Three steps from a blank editor to a live blog on your own page.
Write the update
A clean block editor for text, quotes, images and embeds. Publish now, or schedule it to go live the moment it starts.
Drop in one tag
One <script> tag on any page, any CMS. No plugin, no theme surgery, no developer needed. Paste it once, the embed does the rest.
It updates itself
New posts appear in the embedded ticker on their own, within seconds. Readers stay on the page: no reload, no missed moment.

What you get
The essentials for live coverage, plus the extras that make it nicer to work with.
Embed anywhere in one line of code
WordPress, Next.js, a static page, a landing page for a single event. If it renders HTML, your ticker works there, with the same one-line tag. Paste it yourself in a minute, no developer or rebuild needed.

data-ticker-id="tkr_9f3ab2"></script>Always live, no reloads
Publish an update and it shows up in every embedded ticker within seconds. Readers keep reading.
Privacy-first, no cookies
The embed sets no cookies and stores no IP addresses, so live coverage doesn’t drag a consent banner along.
Rich block editor
Text, quotes, images, social and video embeds: structured, not one long text field.
On-brand designs
Choose a timeline, markers or an editorial list, then set it all in your own brand color.
Author cards
Avatar, bio and social links on every post, so the byline credit lands where it belongs.
Schedule ahead
Prepare updates in advance and they publish themselves at the exact minute you set.
Built for any story that goes live
One ticker, built for every kind of live coverage: breaking news, elections, live sport and events.

Privacy built into the embed
The embed collects what it needs to count a reader, and nothing else. No cookies, no consent banner, no reader profile to leak.

No cookies in the embed
Nothing is written to the reader’s browser and no cookie is set, so the ticker needs no consent banner of its own.
No stored IP addresses
IP addresses and user agents are never persisted, so there is no reader profile to build up or ever leak.
Analytics without tracking
Views, unique readers, “reading now”, clicks and dwell time, all from rotating hashes that hold no personal data.
Embeds only with consent
Tweets, videos and other embeds load in their most privacy-friendly mode, and only after the reader agrees.
Frequently Asked Questions
The things publishers ask us before they join the beta.
Does it work with WordPress or my CMS?
Yes. Livetickr is a single script tag, so it works anywhere you can paste HTML: WordPress, Craft, Next.js, a plain static page. No plugin required.
Do I need technical skills?
No. The one-time setup is a simple copy-and-paste of the snippet. From there your editorial team works entirely in the dashboard, focused on reporting, not code.
Can I run several tickers at once?
Yes. Run as many tickers as you like, and if you’re a company, set up a separate publisher for each brand or title, each with its own team, roles and labels.
What does it cost?
Free during the beta, with fair tiered pricing at launch. Waitlist members keep a preferred rate.
How do you handle privacy?
No cookies in the embed, no stored IP addresses, anonymous rotating-hash analytics, and third-party embeds behind a consent toggle.
When do you launch?
We’re in closed beta with a small group of publishers. Join the waitlist and you’ll hear first.
