FAQ
Is SW Site Doctor really 100% free?
Yes! Every feature is included at no cost. There are no premium tiers, no locked features, and no upsells. We built this as a free tool for the WordPress community.
Will this plugin slow down my website?
No. SW Site Doctor only runs when you manually start a scan or on your scheduled times. It adds zero code to your frontend and has no impact on visitor experience.
How often should I scan my WordPress site?
We recommend weekly scans, or after any significant changes (plugin updates, theme changes, new content). Use scheduled scans to automate this.
What should I do when issues are found?
Each issue includes a plain-English explanation and step-by-step recommendation. Follow the guidance to resolve issues, or consult a developer for complex fixes.
Is my scan data sent to external servers?
All site health scan data stays on your WordPress server. When you run PageSpeed tests, your site URL is sent to our API proxy which forwards requests to Google’s PageSpeed Insights API. See the External Services section below for details.
Does this work with caching plugins?
Absolutely! SW Site Doctor works alongside WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, and all other caching plugins. It even verifies your caching is configured correctly.
What’s the difference between Site Scan and PageSpeed Test?
Site Scan analyzes your WordPress configuration – security settings, database health, plugin issues, and migration readiness.
PageSpeed Test uses Google’s API to measure real-world loading performance, Core Web Vitals, accessibility, and SEO factors.
What are Core Web Vitals?
Core Web Vitals are Google’s key metrics for user experience:
- LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) – Main content load time
- FID (First Input Delay) – Time until page responds to clicks
- CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) – Visual stability
- TTFB (Time to First Byte) – Server response speed
How is the overall health score calculated?
Your score is a weighted average across three categories:
- Security: 40% (most critical)
- Speed: 35% (impacts user experience)
- Migration: 25% (affects maintainability)
Each category contains multiple checks with individual weights based on importance.
Can I use this on client websites?
Yes! SW Site Doctor is perfect for agencies and freelancers. Use it to audit client sites, generate reports, and demonstrate the value of your optimization work.
