# [Plugin: P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler)] Please update docs

 * How are you supposed to launch the scan? Please include this information in the
   docs, e.g. right after the perfunctory “How to install” and on the FAQ page. 
   I know GoDaddy isn’t known for intuitive UI/UX on their sites, but it’s sad if
   you’ve spent all this time developing a potentially useful plugin but you don’t
   bother to tell anyone how to use it. I don’t see any errors in my PHP logs, and
   Firebug isn’t complaining about anything… the plugin is enabled and happily doing
   nothing from what I can tell. If you’ve got any pointers, I’d strongly recommend
   putting them in the docs so others might benefit from the plugin.
 * Version 1.2.0 of the plugin on WordPress 3.3.2

 * Do you see a “Start Scan” button?
 * If not, there may be a conflict. Some themes/plugins include an older version
   of jQuery UI (1.7 or older) that conflicts with jQuery 1.8 that ships with WordPress
   and the UI is rendered incorrectly.
 * There should also be a help page:
 * >  **How do I use this?**
   >  Simply click “Start Scan” to run an automated scan
   > of your site. The scanner generates some traffic on your site and monitors 
   > your site’s performance on the server, then shows you the results. With this
   > information, you can decide what action to take.
   > **What do I do with these results?**
   >  If your site loads in an acceptable time(
   > usually < 0.5 seconds), you might consider other explanation for sluggish loading.
   > For example, loading large images, large videos, or a lot of content can cause
   > slowness. Tools like [webpagetest.org](http://webpagetest.org/), [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com/),
   > [Pingdom tools](http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/), or [Safari Developer Tools](https://developer.apple.com/technologies/safari/developer-tools.html)
   > or [Chrome Developer Tools](https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/overview)
   > can show you a connection breakdown of your site’s content.

 * Almost, but not quite: on what page should the START SCAN button appear? On my
   homepage? Inside some page in the manager? Where is the help page? I didn’t see
   it anywhere. Details details details…

 * Thanks. Probably best to reference that in the docs.

 * Thank you for your feedback. The FAQ now includes this item:
 * > **I installed P3, what now?**
   >  Open the **Tools** menu, then open **P3 Plugin
   > Profiler** then click **Scan Now**.
 * The new version (1.3.0) also includes a “Scan Now” link on the plugin table list.
