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.
