NGAZE connects to your website using a secure combination of API integration and website access, most commonly through the NGAZE WordPress plugin. This connection allows NGAZE to collect performance, SEO, and technical data without changing your website content.
This article explains how the connection works, what data is shared, and what NGAZE does (and does not) do.
Short Answer
NGAZE connects to your website by:
- Using an API key to authenticate your site
- Collecting performance and SEO data
- Syncing data on a scheduled basis
No content is edited and no design changes are made automatically.
Common Ways NGAZE Connects to Websites
1️⃣ WordPress Websites (Most Common)
For WordPress sites, NGAZE connects using the NGAZE WordPress Plugin.
The plugin:
- Authenticates your website using an API key
- Allows NGAZE to securely identify your site
- Enables data sync between NGAZE and your website
This is the recommended and supported method for WordPress websites.
2️⃣ Non-WordPress Websites
For non-WordPress or custom websites:
- NGAZE may connect via API access
- Some features may be limited depending on the setup
If your site is not on WordPress, contact support to confirm compatibility.
What Data NGAZE Pulls From Your Website
Depending on your setup and integrations, NGAZE may collect:
- Website performance metrics (speed, Core Web Vitals)
- Technical SEO signals
- Page structure and accessibility indicators
- Public website data needed for audits and analysis
NGAZE does not pull private user data or customer information from your website.
What NGAZE Does NOT Do
To avoid confusion, NGAZE:
- ❌ Does not edit website content automatically
- ❌ Does not change design or layouts
- ❌ Does not install third-party plugins without approval
- ❌ Does not publish content or updates on its own
All changes to your website remain under your control.
How the Connection Works (Step-by-Step) #
- You install the NGAZE WordPress plugin (if applicable)
- You enter your NGAZE API key
- The website authenticates with NGAZE
- NGAZE begins syncing website data
- Data appears in dashboards and modules over time
Initial data may take 24–72 hours to populate.
How Often Website Data Syncs
- Website data syncs periodically
- Some metrics update daily
- Others update as new data becomes available
- Performance and SEO trends improve with time
Repeated reconnecting is not recommended unless there is an error.
Common Questions #

No. The NGAZE connection is lightweight and designed not to impact performance.
