    its a very good plugin but i would strongly suggest allowing users to be able to remove the tested domains from your records. currently the results are visible/available by everybody online. that should be optional.

    Thank you for your opinion.
    I was thinking about this myself, but I have not come with conclusion about “how to do it”. Would you care to share your ideas? Here are my thoughts:

    1. let people choose to “automatically discard” results after specific time (1 day, 1 week, 1 month).

    2. Add delete button to WordPress interface – in the “history” section. Although if history is not available – then it would not be possible to delete the results.

    3. other ideas?

    I would also like to keep result-data (the timings) and with “discard” or “delete” – i would think to anonymize domain name and restrict access to public results. I would keep historical timing results in order to have more correct average-value stats.. Well, at least that is what I am thinking about right now. 🙂

    Hi Anton, thanks for your reply.

    So I like the idea of full results being displayed only within the wp admin dashboard. (so no external link is produced)

    A few points I wanted to share:
    1. From the UX point of view, I can see 2x ´Read more´ links, and when I open them then the top part of the chart (with the numbers) is a copy of the summary that I have seen in the wp dashboard.
    So perhaps, for simplicity, I would suggesting adding all info only into the 1st (wp admin area) window? (if you want to hide the details then maybe just add anchor link eg. ´See details´ that will reveal the full data on the same page).

    2. The external link (that is produced after the test) makes me worried that this result could be found by a client or anybody who shouldn’t see that. It is because it contains the real client’s website name.

    3. I’m also wondering then what about SEO results – is this results page visible/searchable in google or not? – that makes me think that I’d rather not want any data to be produced outside the dash.

    Hope my feedback is kinda helpful, that is of course my intention. Keep up great work!!

    I have just released new version – added option to set when to anonymize results – I will keep scores and timings for statistical needs, but will wipe out any data related to the WordPress, where it was executed. 🙂

    All old results will be anonymized within 1 month from now. After all – software changes and if we all want to be on top of the edge – we should retest our servers regularly.
