FAQ

What is the best free alternative to MySiteAuditor for WordPress?: The SEO Audit & PageSpeed Scanner by BestHelpTool is the premier 100% free alternative to MySiteAuditor. Unlike MySiteAuditor which costs $49–$99/month and forces slow iframe embeds, BestHelpTool is completely free to install, loads asynchronously with zero performance lag, and connects directly to Google’s official PageSpeed API to generate client leads and white-label reports.
How do agencies generate inbound client leads with this plugin?: Embed [besthelptool_scanner] on your agency landing page (/free-seo-audit). When prospective clients enter their domain, the widget runs a real-time audit. When they see technical bottlenecks (slow LCP, missing meta tags, accessibility issues), they click ‘Unlock & Download Full Technical Report’. You capture high-intent retainers by positioning your agency as the trusted expert to fix those issues.
Does this plugin slow down my own WordPress website or hurt my Core Web Vitals?: No! Absolutely not. The scanner loads strictly asynchronously with zero render-blocking scripts or heavy external dependencies. When a visitor runs a scan, the API requests and computations happen asynchronously between their browser and Google’s external servers. Your host website’s page load speed, database, and server CPU remain completely unaffected.
Do I need a Google PageSpeed API key to use this plugin?: No. You can start scanning immediately right after activation without entering an API key. The plugin connects through our high-performance shared routing pool. However, if you experience high scan volume or rate limits on shared web hosting, you can easily enter your own free Google API Key in the plugin settings (Settings -> SEO Scanner).
Can I use this plugin with Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, and Beaver Builder?: Yes! Version 1.1.9 includes native Gutenberg Block registration (besthelptool/seo-scanner) as well as universal shortcode support ([besthelptool_scanner]). Simply add the block or shortcode into Elementor Text/HTML widgets, Divi Code modules, Beaver Builder, or standard Gutenberg blocks.
Is this plugin compatible with LiteSpeed Cache and WP Rocket?: Yes! We specifically engineered the plugin with built-in hydration buffers (data-no-optimize and data-litespeed-no-delay), smart DOM mutation observers, and auto-retry logic. This ensures the scanner interactive UI and event listeners initialize reliably even when caching plugins enable aggressive JavaScript deferral, minification, or execution delays.
How does the White-Label PDF Report generator work?: When a visitor runs a scan on your site using the shortcode, they see their real-time performance score and category breakdown. Directly underneath the results, they can click Unlock & Download Full Technical Report. This seamlessly opens our white-label report portal (https://besthelptool.site/seo-audit-tool/?target_url=...) where the target URL is automatically pre-loaded. The user can enter their Agency or Company Name and download a comprehensive 15+ page white-labeled PDF audit report.
What metrics does the SEO Audit & PageSpeed Scanner check?: The scanner pulls live Google Lighthouse audit data across four core pillars:
1. Performance: Overall score (0-100), First Contentful Paint (FCP), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Total Blocking Time (TBT), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).
2. SEO: Mobile-friendly responsiveness, viewport meta tag configuration, robots.txt indexing status, canonical links, and title/description tags.
3. Accessibility: ARIA attributes, color contrast compliance, image alt tags, and structural heading hierarchy.
4. Best Practices: HTTPS SSL certificate encryption, modern image compression (WebP/AVIF), console error checking, and secure cross-origin headers.
Can I customize the appearance or styles of the scanner widget?: Yes! The scanner uses modern CSS custom variables and clean container classes. You can easily override container widths, button colors, and typography in your child theme’s style.css or WordPress Customizer (Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS).
