Smoke tests 50% from 4 tests

Server-side errors Passed 1 test

🔹 Test weight: 20 | This is a shallow check for server-side errors
Even though everything seems fine, this is not an exhaustive test

SRP 50% from 2 tests

  • 1× GET requests to PHP files return non-empty strings:
    • > /wp-content/plugins/cresta-whatsapp-chat/uninstall.php

User-side errors 0% from 1 test

🔹 Test weight: 20 | Just a short smoke test targeting errors on the browser (console and network errors and warnings)

    • > GET request to /wp-admin/cresta-whatsapp-chat.php
    • > Network (severe)
    wp-admin/cresta-whatsapp-chat.php - Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Optimizations

Plugin configuration 93% from 29 tests

readme.txt 94% from 16 tests

Often overlooked, readme.txt is one of the most important files in your plugin
Attributes that need to be fixed:
  • Screenshots: Please add images for these screenshots: #1 (Cresta Help Chat Settings Page), #2 (Cresta Help Chat floating button), #3 (Cresta Help Chat open floating button), #4 (Cresta Help Chat shortcode button), #5 (Cresta Help Chat open shortcode button)
The official readme.txt is a good inspiration

cresta-whatsapp-chat/cresta-whatsapp-chat.php 92% from 13 tests

The main file in "Cresta Help Chat" v. 1.3.2 serves as a complement to information provided in readme.txt and as the entry point to the plugin
