What Is WP Boom?

WP Boom is not just another plugin or tool. It’s a visual testing powerhouse, meticulously crafted to simplify and enhance the way you handle updates, plugins, themes, and everything in between on your WordPress website. With its intuitive interface and powerful capabilities, WP Boom is set to become your secret weapon in the quest for a flawless WordPress site.

How WP Boom Works

Step 1: Capture Screenshots of your Pages

The journey begins with WP Boom capturing screenshots of every page on your website. This first snapshot provides a visual baseline of your site’s appearance before any updates are made. It’s like taking a ‘before’ picture to help you spot any visual discrepancies later.

Step 2: Update WordPress and/or Plugins

Once you’ve captured the ‘before’ screenshots, it’s time to unleash the magic of WordPress updates, plugins, and themes. So make the theme update, delete or update plugins and modify anything you need.

Step 3: Capture ‘After’ Screenshots

With your site freshly updated, WP Boom swings into action once more. It captures ‘after’ screenshots, providing a visual record of how your site looks with the latest changes. This is where WP Boom’s visual difference checking prowess comes into play.

Step 4: Compare and Spot Differences with Ease

Here’s where the real magic happens. WP Boom’s Visual Difference Checker for WordPress meticulously compares the ‘before’ and ‘after’ screenshots. It uses advanced algorithms to pinpoint even the slightest visual variations, such as layout shifts, color changes, font discrepancies, or missing elements displaying the differences in pink.

Step 5: Get your Reports

WP Boom doesn’t just identify differences; it also compiles them into reports that are easy to understand. You’ll receive a comprehensive overview of all the visual changes detected during the update process, making it easy to decide which issues need your attention.
