SITEREVIEW SUPPORT

Install, configure, deliver — without losing time.

Everything you need to set up SiteReview, configure Pro, and ship your first audit.

GETTING STARTED

From install to first delivered report in under 20 minutes.

1

Install

Download SiteReview from WordPress.org, or search “SiteReview” in Plugins → Add New from your WordPress dashboard. Install and activate. SiteReview blocks network activation on multisite — it’s a per-site tool.

2

Add a PSI API key

The Performance section uses Google PageSpeed Insights. On first launch, an onboarding modal walks you through getting a free PSI key (Cloud Console → enable PSI API → create credentials → copy key). One key, one minute. The key is stored encrypted using your AUTH_KEY salt.

3

Run a Scan

Click “New Scan,” pick the homepage plus up to 5 additional Pages from the WP multi-select, optionally exclude sections, and start. Sections run in parallel; total scan time is typically 5–15 minutes.

4

Share or Download

When the scan completes, copy the public report URL to send to the client, or click Download to save a single-file HTML (self-contained — fonts, CSS, JS, images all inlined). Email the URL or attach the file.

5

Edit Inline (Pro only)

In the in-admin report viewer with Pro active, every text element is editable. Edits save to the report data and immediately re-render the static HTML at the public URL. Use it to tighten the AI’s narrative or add agency-specific context before sending.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

What SiteReview needs to run.

Requirement Minimum
WordPress 6.4+
PHP 8.1+
Browser Any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge — recent versions)
Server Any standard WordPress hosting environment with Action Scheduler-compatible background processing
Cron Either WP-Cron or a real cron triggering wp-cron.php (a synchronous fallback exists for sites where cron is broken)
Outbound HTTP Must reach googleapis.com (PSI), observatory.mozilla.org, sitecheck.sucuri.net, rdap.org, dns.google
Outbound HTTP (Pro) Pro tier additionally requires reaching api.steadypress.ai for AI narrative and license activation
Free PSI API key Free SiteReview requires a Google PageSpeed Insights API key (no charge, ~1 minute to get one)
Multisite Not supported in v1 — network activation is blocked

SiteReview runs entirely in the WordPress admin. The accessibility scan executes client-side in a hidden iframe within the admin tab; all other sections run server-side via Action Scheduler. No frontend code is loaded on visitor-facing pages, no database queries run on visitor requests.

PRO CONFIGURATION

Setting up Pro: license, white-label, AI tone, token rotation.

Activating your Pro license

After purchase, you receive a license key by email. Go to SiteReview → Settings → License, enter your key, click Activate. Your credit balance (1 / 10 / 50 depending on tier) appears in the plugin and in your account portal. Credits are consumed when a report is generated. Re-running a scan on the same domain within 30 days is free.

Configuring white-label

In SiteReview → Settings → White-Label, upload a logo (PNG or SVG), set your agency name, an optional tagline, a primary color (hex), and an accent color. WCAG contrast warnings surface inline but never block save — the choice is yours. The settings preview card shows exactly how the report will look before you ship.

Setting the AI narrative tone

In SiteReview → Settings → AI, choose between “Direct” (concise, no hedging), “Consultative” (warmer, more explanatory), and “Technical” (more developer-vocabulary, fewer plain-language analogies). The tone applies to executive summary, recommendations, and per-section narrative across every Pro scan.

Rotating a public URL

In the report viewer, click “Rotate URL.” A new public URL token is generated, the static HTML is re-rendered to the new location, and the old URL stops working immediately. Use this to revoke external access after sending, or if a URL has been forwarded too widely.

CHANGELOG

What’s new in SiteReview.

We maintain a full changelog for every release. Each entry includes the version number, release date, and a summary of changes.

v1.0.0 [launch date]

Initial release. Eight-section audit report (WordPress Status, Performance, Site Security, Mobile Friendliness, Accessibility, Hosting, Domain & DNS, SEO). Public report URL + single-file HTML download. Pro tier with AI-authored narrative, deep theme analysis, inline editing, white-label, and token rotation. Free tier makes zero calls to SteadyPress servers.
