How to use form autocomplete?

Form autocomplete is a browser feature that helps users fill out forms faster by suggesting previously entered information. When enabled on your Lead Booster Pro forms, it tells the browser exactly what type of information each field expects (like email address, phone number, or name), allowing browsers to suggest appropriate saved data to your visitors. This significantly reduces form completion time and improves conversion rates.

Why has Lead Booster Pro added autocomplete to all plans?

We’ve made autocomplete available across all plans because it’s a powerful feature that can increase form submission rates by up to 200%. By enabling standardized browser autocomplete on your forms, you can capture more leads from your existing traffic without increasing your marketing budget. This aligns with our core mission to help you maximize qualified leads from your website visitors.

How does autocomplete improve my form conversion rates?

Autocomplete reduces form abandonment by:
  • Saving visitors time by pre-filling information they’ve entered before
  • Reducing typing errors, especially on mobile devices
  • Making long forms feel less intimidating
  • Streamlining the mobile form-filling experience
  • Minimizing friction in the conversion process
Studies show that up to 86% of users abandon forms that feel too time-consuming – autocomplete directly addresses this issue.

Is autocomplete enabled by default on my forms?

Yes! We’ve enabled autocomplete by default on standard field types to optimize completion rates immediately. Email fields automatically use email autocomplete, phone fields use phone autocomplete, and URL fields use URL autocomplete. For text fields, you can select the most appropriate autocomplete type based on what information you’re collecting.

Which form fields support autocomplete?

Almost all input fields support autocomplete, including:
  • Email fields
  • Phone number fields
  • Text fields (names, addresses, etc.)
  • URL/website fields

How do I customize autocomplete for my text fields?

For text inputs, you can select the appropriate autocomplete type from our dropdown menu:
  1. Select your text input field
  2. Look for the “Autocomplete” section in the right sidebar
  3. Choose the appropriate type from options like “Full name,” “First name,” “Organization,” etc.
This helps browsers correctly associate your field with the right kind of saved information.

Does autocomplete work on all browsers and devices?

Yes, autocomplete works on all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and across all devices, including mobile. The feature is particularly valuable on mobile devices, where typing is more difficult and time-consuming.

Is autocomplete secure?

Yes. Autocomplete uses the browser’s built-in security mechanisms. Form data is stored locally on the user’s device, and sensitive information like passwords is protected by the browser’s security features. For extra security, you can disable autocomplete on sensitive fields by selecting “Off” from the autocomplete dropdown.

How is autocomplete different from autofill?

Autocomplete is a standardized HTML attribute that tells browsers what type of data a field expects, enabling browsers to suggest appropriate saved values. Autofill is the browser’s action of populating those fields with saved information. By implementing proper autocomplete attributes, we’re enabling more accurate autofill functionality.

Can autocomplete be disabled for specific fields?

Yes. While we recommend keeping autocomplete enabled for optimal conversion rates, you can disable it for any field by:
  1. Selecting the field in the form builder
  2. Finding the “Autocomplete” option in the right panel
  3. Selecting “Off” from the dropdown menu

How does autocomplete impact form analytics?

Forms with proper autocomplete implementation typically show improved metrics in your analytics:
  • Lower abandonment rates
  • Faster completion times
  • Higher conversion percentages
  • Better mobile performance
You can track these improvements in your Form Analytics dashboard after enabling autocomplete.

Does autocomplete affect my form’s appearance?

No, autocomplete is a functional feature that doesn’t change your form’s visual design. It works behind the scenes to improve the user experience without altering your carefully designed form aesthetics.

Can I use autocomplete with multi-step forms?

Absolutely! Autocomplete works seamlessly with our multi-step forms, making each step easier to complete. This combination of multi-step design and autocomplete functionality creates an optimal user experience for longer forms.

Does autocomplete work with my CRM integrations?

Yes, autocomplete has no impact on your CRM integrations. The data submitted through your forms will still be passed to your connected CRM systems exactly as before, regardless of whether it was manually entered or autocompleted.

How do I know if autocomplete is working on my forms?

The easiest way to test is to:
  1. Preview your form
  2. Fill it out once with test data
  3. Refresh the page and begin filling it out again
  4. Your browser should suggest the previously entered information
If you’re not seeing suggestions, check that you’ve selected the appropriate autocomplete types for each field.
