# Security Considerations

• Website credentials (URL, name) are stored in your Google account
• API keys should be kept secure and not shared
• All communication is encrypted using HTTPS
• You can revoke API keys anytime from the WordPress plugin

# Troubleshooting Connection Issues

• Verify your site URL is correct (include https://)
• Check that your API key is correct
• Ensure your WordPress site is accessible
• Temporarily disable maintenance mode if active

# Functions Not Loading
