Get notified by email, WhatsApp, Slack, or Discord when any of your websites go down, before your clients even notice. Customize check frequency, response time, keyword detection, and alert settings to fit your workflow. Modular DS includes one of the most complete uptime monitor tools for WordPress. Security monitoring and management Modular DS includes vulnerability detection for plugins, themes, and WordPress core, with alerts up to 48 hours before issues are publicly disclosed. You also have malware scanning to check your sites’ files and database for malicious content, and admin user alerts to know whenever someone is added or removed as an administrator on any of your connected sites. On top of that, you get notified whenever something else requires your attention, from outdated PHP to expired SSL certificates. For teams that need more, our add-ons extend these capabilities. See the integrations section below for details. Broken link detection Run scheduled or on-demand scans to detect broken links and images across your sites. When broken internal links are found, create redirects to fix them without leaving Modular DS. Site migration, cloning, and staging Modular DS lets you migrate or clone any connected site in three ways: move it to another existing site in the platform, migrate it to a different server while keeping the same domain, or clone it to a new domain. You can also create staging environments on your own server to test changes before going live. Database optimization Clean up post revisions, spam comments, transients, orphaned tables, and more directly from Modular DS. No need for extra plugins. Keep your websites running smoothly while saving time and having a clear record of every optimization made. Client reports From winning new clients to keeping existing ones, Modular DS covers both ends of the reporting workflow. Before a client signs up, you can generate a pre-maintenance report to show everything their site needs: pending updates, detected vulnerabilities, site health issues, database optimizations, etc. Once they are on board, automatically generate and send regular maintenance reports that highlight the work you do behind each site. Add time logs, dates, and screenshots to showcase the full scope of your efforts, so clients understand the value of your service and keep paying for it. Both report types help you build trust, improve client retention, and turn your WordPress maintenance offering into recurring revenue. Integrations Modular DS integrates with Google Analytics, Search Console, WooCommerce, and PageSpeed, giving you an overview of your websites in one place and allowing you to include the data your clients care most about in your reports. To further strengthen your sites’ security, two add-ons extend what is included in every plan. Patch & Protect, powered by Patchstack, applies virtual patches and hardening rules to block known vulnerabilities and common attack methods as soon as they are detected, even before an official fix is available. And if one malware scan per month is not enough, our malware add-on, powered by Imunify Connect, lets you run weekly and on-demand scans across your sites. Support that understands you Modular DS is the first site management platform with support in both English and Spanish. Whether you have a question or run into an issue, our team has over 10 years of WordPress experience and is here to help you.
