How do I get a GTmetrix API account?

Go to GTmetrix.com and register. It’s free.

How can I get more API Credits?

You can purchase more API credits under the GTmetrix PRO tab on GTmetrix.com.

Only administrators can use the plugin. How can I grant access to other roles?

GTmetrix for WordPress creates a new capability called access_gtmetrix. Using a plugin such as Members or User Role Editor, you can assign this capability to any role.

Async JavaScript Problems?

The Async JavaScript plugin is not written by or affiliated with GTmetrix. It does use our API to generate GTmetrix reports however.

If you’re running into issues with this plugin, please reach out for support on their forum.

A must-have plugin

By Basil Hendroff (basilh) on March 14, 2021

I went from an F/E rating to an A/B rating using this tool to help point me to areas on the website front page that were contributing to noticeably slow loading times.

This plugin does work

By heath18 on November 17, 2020

I put in the API and the email that it asked for and it never shows the results. But when I go to gtmetrix.com it shows the credits as being used. Edit*** It must've just needed a little more patience on my end. The plugin is working.

Great plugin to discover ow your site really is

By nguedes on September 16, 2020

After using GT Metrix I found out how my website really was presented to final visitors. Simple to use and configure, information provided has an immense value to find bottlenecks and improvement points. Add this to your site toolkit as you'll need it!

Не восстанавливаются АПИ баллы

By kotyarashop on September 5, 2019

Апи баллы постоянно уменьшаются, хотя должны увеличиваться на 20 в день. В остальном сама система супер!

Scheduled test reports right on my dashboard!

By Bjarne Oldrup (oldrup) on March 18, 2019

The GTmetrix for WordPress plugin is nothing but amazing, feature rich and well built. * Performs test of sites within WordPress * Features a dashbord widget showing latest results * Scheduled tests with email reports if speed falls below preferred level * A lot of tests in the free tier, with option to upgrade if managing a large number of sites. * Tested in WordPress 5.1 on two different hosts, 10+ sites - works perfectly. Highly recommended and certainly deserves a 5 star rating. Update: The last few days, the testing has been hanging uncompleted. No indication of what the cause is. Hoping for GT-metrix to respond the the support request. The "old way" of testing site directly on gtmetrix.com still works great 🙂

Super, Plugin, thank you very much!

Keep on the good work.

Does this plugin support multisite?

By cng11 on December 22, 2018

If this plugin supports multisite then the scheduling of reports seems off. On the second site the date is 1/1/1970 12:00am for the next report
