The HomeRunner Toolkit includes a set of background modules that improve your site’s reliability, accessibility, and accuracy with zero configuration. You will never see a settings screen for these. They work quietly the moment Toolkit is active, smoothing over rough edges so guests get a cleaner, more trustworthy booking experience.
Always-on improvements #
Friendly error messages #
When something goes wrong during a quote or at checkout, the booking system can return terse, technical wording that confuses guests and makes them abandon. The Error Humanizer quietly intercepts those messages, on the booking widget and the checkout page, and swaps in plain, reassuring language that tells the guest what actually happened and what to do next. It catches both messages present when the page loads and ones that appear after the guest interacts, so a cryptic failure rarely makes it to the screen. No setup required.
Working booking widget on translated pages #
On sites that offer translated pages (with plugins like WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress, or GTranslate), the booking widget could break because the translation plugin inserts a language prefix such as /es/ or /de/ into the behind-the-scenes web addresses the widget relies on. That broke actions like applying a coupon code, which showed a generic “internal error” message. The Translation REST Fix strips those prefixes so the widget keeps working normally for guests browsing in any language. No setup required.
Image alt text for accessibility and SEO #
Images that are missing alt text hurt both accessibility (screen-reader users cannot tell what an image shows) and SEO (search engines lose useful context). The Image Alt Filter automatically fills in missing or empty alt text by looking up the description already stored with each image in your media library, and it does this on the final page output, so it works no matter which theme or page builder rendered the image. No setup required.
Safe SVG uploads #
WordPress blocks SVG image uploads by default because raw SVG files can carry hidden malicious code. SVG Support safely re-enables SVG uploads in your media library and automatically sanitizes each file to strip that risk, so you can use crisp vector logos and icons across your site without the security exposure. No setup required.
These optimizations are enabled automatically whenever the Toolkit is active. There is nothing to turn on and nothing to maintain.
