A. Smith Health Monitor vs phpinfo() WP – Site Health, PHP Compatibility & Server Audit

A. Smith Health Monitor scans your active plugins and gives each one a health score based on update status, compatibility, performance impact, and known conflict patterns. It flags common patterns such as running multiple caching or SEO plugins at the same time, which can contribute to site issues. Key Features Plugin Health Scores – Each active plugin gets a score (0-100) based on update freshness, WordPress compatibility, active installs, support resolution rate, and rating. Conflict Detection – Detects multiple plugins in the same category (caching, SEO, security, backup, minification) that commonly cause conflicts. Performance Profiling – Measures each plugin’s footprint: file count, disk size, registered hooks, autoloaded options, and estimated memory usage. Labels plugins as lightweight, moderate, or heavy. Safe Mode – One-click conflict isolation testing. Temporarily hides all plugins except one to help identify which is causing issues. No database changes — uses WordPress filters. Auto-expires after 15 minutes. PHP Error Detection – Scans your debug log for plugin-related errors and groups them by source plugin. Hook Congestion Alerts – Warns when many plugins are hooked into sensitive WordPress hooks like the_content or wp_head. Email Health Reports – Scheduled email digests (daily/weekly/monthly) with your site’s health score, issues, and recommendations. Actionable Recommendations – Prioritized suggestions to resolve conflicts, update plugins, and improve performance. How It Works Install and activate the plugin. Visit Health Monitor in your admin menu. View your overall health score and per-plugin report cards. Click Run New Scan for a fresh analysis. Use Test in Safe Mode to isolate any suspicious plugin. Privacy Scans run locally on your site and are cached in WordPress transients. Optionally, you can enable “Allow enhanced plugin metadata lookup” in Settings to fetch public ratings and update data for your active plugins from the WordPress.org plugin directory. This option is disabled by default. No data is sent to A. Smith Media servers. Pro Features (Optional Add-On) The free version is fully functional on its own. A Pro add-on is available separately at asmith.media/health-monitor with: Auto-rollback on detected conflicts Real-time conflict monitoring dashboard Performance history and trends (Chart.js graphs) Slack and email alert notifications White-label reports for agencies PDF health report export

phpinfo() WP is a modern, actively-maintained WordPress site health and server audit plugin. It is the exact in-admin tool freelancers and agencies install on every fresh site to instantly see what is wrong, what is about to break, and what to fix, all without a SaaS subscription, without external dashboards, and without leaving the WordPress admin panel. Think of it as the official “Health Check & Troubleshooting” plugin, but built for professional production sites. Our Troubleshooting Mode runs completely in a per-user session. Visitors and clients continue to see the live site normally while you safely debug and isolate conflicts without a single second of downtime. The free version covers what every WordPress site owner actually needs: phpinfo() viewer: Clean, searchable, and modern (the original feature, completely restyled). Host-Friendly Compatibility Scanner: Scan all plugins and themes for PHP version conflicts before upgrading, built to work smoothly even on strict managed hosts.

Multi-Site Dashboard: Network-wide dashboard widget support on every subsite. Why use this instead of 5 different plugins? Most WordPress site health tools force you to install separate plugins for PHP compatibility, SSL monitoring, security headers, OPcache, error logs, cron, and reports. Each one is another plugin to update, another menu item, and another set of options. phpinfo() WP gives you one in-admin plugin that covers all of it, with a single dashboard widget and a single PDF audit report. No external SaaS dashboard, no per-site monthly fees, and no separate logins. Pricing Single Site: $29/year (1 site, essential Pro features, branded PDF, 3 snapshots, 1 API monitor) Unlimited Sites: $69/year (the popular pick, works on every site, fully white-labeled, unlimited snapshots and API monitors) Lifetime: $149 once (founders pricing, first 50 buyers, unlimited sites, fully white-labeled) 14-day money-back guarantee.
