GTmetrix PRO

GTmetrix for WordPress lets administrators execute website analyses, schedule recurring reports, and receive status alerts from the WordPress administration area. Analysis requests use the GTmetrix API, so an API account is required. Account registration is free.

Run analyses and schedule reports

Start analyses when needed or set reports to run daily, weekly, or monthly. The plugin can send alerts when a website falls below certain criteria, giving administrators a reason to review the related GTmetrix information.

Get more API credits

GTmetrix PRO is the paid option for purchasing additional API credits. Use it when the available credits do not cover the analysis capacity you need. Credits can be purchased from the GTmetrix PRO tab.

Install and connect the extension

1. Upload the plugin to your WordPress site's /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate it through the Plugins menu.
3. Open the new plugin menu item and enter your GTmetrix API details.

After connecting the API, run an analysis, pick a report schedule, and configure the alerts that fit your monitoring process.

Access and compatibility

Only administrators can use the plugin by default. It creates the access_gtmetrix capability. An administrator can assign this capability to other roles with a role management plugin such as Members or User Role Editor.

The plugin listing says it has not been tested with the latest three major WordPress releases. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues with newer WordPress versions.
