Changelog
1.0.7
- Added Full Technical Report unlock button in scan results, allowing visitors to obtain comprehensive itemized reports and step-by-step fix guides.
1.0.6
- Added data-no-optimize and data-litespeed-no-delay script attributes to prevent caching plugins (LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket) from delaying scanner execution.
- Implemented smart polling loader (besthelptoolTryScan) to gracefully wait for script hydration without displaying alert boxes when clicked immediately after page load.
1.0.5
- Completely eliminated page redirects by replacing the HTML form tag with a container div and type=”button” element.
- Refactored JavaScript execution to use a global window.besthelptoolTriggerScan handler with automatic retry hydration for Elementor and LiteSpeed Cache compatibility.
1.0.4
- Fixed JavaScript initialization when scripts are delayed or deferred by caching plugins (LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, etc.).
- Added action=”javascript:void(0);” and onsubmit=”return false;” to scanner form to prevent page redirects on submission before script hydration.
