BestHelpTool SEO Audit & PageSpeed Scanner provides an animated frontend UI to let your visitors scan any website and instantly see their performance, SEO, accessibility, and best practice metrics.<\/p>\n\n

External services<\/h3>\n\n

This plugin connects to the Google PageSpeed Insights API to analyze website performance, SEO, accessibility, and best practices scores.<\/p>\n\n

It sends the website URL entered by the visitor whenever a scan is requested.\nThis service is provided by Google LLC: Terms of Service (https:\/\/policies.google.com\/terms), Privacy Policy (https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy).<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the plugin files to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n
  3. Add the shortcode [besthelptool_scanner]<\/code> or [besthelptool_pagespeed_scanner]<\/code> to any page.<\/li>\n
  4. Optional: Go to Settings -> SEO Scanner to input your own free Google PageSpeed API key or opt in to display attribution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    1.0.7<\/h4>\n\n
      \n
    • Added Full Technical Report unlock button in scan results, allowing visitors to obtain comprehensive itemized reports and step-by-step fix guides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      1.0.6<\/h4>\n\n
        \n
      • Added data-no-optimize and data-litespeed-no-delay script attributes to prevent caching plugins (LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket) from delaying scanner execution.<\/li>\n
      • Implemented smart polling loader (besthelptoolTryScan) to gracefully wait for script hydration without displaying alert boxes when clicked immediately after page load.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        1.0.5<\/h4>\n\n
          \n
        • Completely eliminated page redirects by replacing the HTML form tag with a container div and type=\"button\" element.<\/li>\n
        • Refactored JavaScript execution to use a global window.besthelptoolTriggerScan handler with automatic retry hydration for Elementor and LiteSpeed Cache compatibility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          1.0.4<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          • Fixed JavaScript initialization when scripts are delayed or deferred by caching plugins (LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, etc.).<\/li>\n
          • Added action=\"javascript:void(0);\" and onsubmit=\"return false;\" to scanner form to prevent page redirects on submission before script hydration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            1.0.3<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            • Added lightning-fast built-in local fallback scan engine when Google PageSpeed API is rate-limited on shared hosting.<\/li>\n
            • Reduced default timeout to 12 seconds for faster failover and smoother user experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

              1.0.2<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              • Removed all promotional links and credit branding from frontend shortcode output by default.<\/li>\n
              • Added optional admin opt-in checkbox in settings to display subtle attribution.<\/li>\n
              • Replaced inline scripts and styles with proper WordPress enqueue hooks (wp_register_style, wp_register_script, wp_enqueue_style, wp_enqueue_script, and wp_localize_script).<\/li>\n
              • Expanded all prefixes to unique 21-character namespace (besthelptool_scanner_) to eliminate any naming conflicts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                1.0.1<\/h4>\n\n
                  \n
                • Clean compliance release for WordPress.org repository.<\/li>\n
                • Documented external Google PageSpeed service.<\/li>\n
                • Namespaced all hooks and functions cleanly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"A beautifully designed SEO audit and PageSpeed scanner tool that scans any website using Google PageSpeed Insights.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/331163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=331163"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/besthelptool"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=331163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=331163"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=331163"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=331163"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=331163"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=331163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
