Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about SiteHale
No. It adds no scripts, styles or blocks to your pages. The only thing it does on the front end is answer requests for /llms.txt — on every other page view its entire cost is one address comparison. The diagnostic endpoints only run when the SiteHale service calls them (authenticated), and each is a cheap, bounded read.
Nothing, unless you ask. The Site Checkup and the weekly re-check are local on the free plan. Data leaves your site in four cases, all listed under External services: when you click Connect, when you tick the off-by-default share checkbox on the Email-this-checkup form, — on sites with an active paid plan only — when the weekly check finds something has regressed, and if you switch on IndexNow. In the first three the recipient is always SiteHale. IndexNow is the one exception and the reason it is off by default: it sends the web address of a page you just published or changed to api.indexnow.org, a Microsoft-operated service that shares it with Bing, Yandex, Seznam and Naver. Only the address — never your content, never anything about your visitors. Disconnect stops everything SiteHale receives; unticking IndexNow stops that.
Yes — the Site Checkup page, its history, and the weekly background re-check are free, run entirely locally, and never expire. The Connect flow, remote diagnostics and monthly care reports are the parts that pair with the paid managed service.
No — connecting by itself is free and never charges you. Care and Managed are paid monthly plans, and clicking Connect does not sign you up for one: it only pairs your site so a plan can be set up if you decide to buy one. Payment is never handled by the plugin — you arrange a plan directly with SiteHale, and it starts only once you have agreed to it. Connect without a plan and your site simply stays on Free. The SiteHale page shows your plan status (Free, Care, or Managed: not active / awaiting activation / active) at all times.
Not on the free plan. It runs the same local snapshot the checkup page uses and stores the result on your own site. Its only visible output is a dismissible admin notice, and only when something actually regressed (a new admin account, new fatal errors, overdue cron, an autoload jump). A clean week produces nothing at all. If you have an active paid SiteHale plan, a week that found a regression also reports those finding lines to SiteHale, together with a short excerpt of any fatal error message behind them — that is the point of the plan, and it is why the notice on a paid site says the problem is already being handled rather than asking you to investigate it. A clean week still sends nothing.
No. There are two, both dismissible, and neither follows you around the admin. The first only appears when the weekly check finds a regression, and a subsequent clean check clears it automatically; on a site with an active paid plan it is quieter still, showing the finding for information without asking you to do the work, because SiteHale is already handling it. The second asks once whether you would review the plugin on WordPress.org. It appears only on SiteHale's own screens — never on your Posts list or your dashboard — and only once it has been checking your site for a fortnight, with a couple of checkups on file, so you are being asked about something you have used. It never appears while a regression is outstanding: if the last thing we told you is that your site got worse, that is not the moment. "No thanks" removes it permanently, and nothing is offered in exchange for a review. If you would rather review it on your own terms — sooner than that, or after dismissing the ask — "Rate this plugin" sits on your Plugins list and a link sits in the footer of SiteHale's own pages. Neither is a notice and neither ever interrupts you.
llms.txt is an emerging convention — a plain-text index at /llms.txt that AI assistants and crawlers read to understand what a site is and what it publishes, much as search engines read a sitemap. The plugin serves one automatically: your site's name, tagline, and a bounded list of published pages, posts and products, rebuilt as you publish. It transmits nothing — it is content your site serves, exactly like a sitemap. It steps aside on its own if anything else already answers that address (an SEO plugin's llms.txt, or a real file you uploaded), and a site set to discourage search engines serves none. To switch it off: add_filter( 'sitehale_llms_txt_enabled', '__return_false' );
Yes, per site. The Site Checkup, its history and the weekly re-check are per-site, so each site in a network gets its own results, and each site connects to SiteHale separately if you want it to. Network-activating the plugin makes it available everywhere; only users who can manage a site's options see it. Uninstalling from the network removes the plugin's data from every site in it, not just the one you were on.
