Error Log Monitor vs WP-Memory-Usage

This plugin adds a Dashboard widget that displays the latest messages from your PHP error log. It can also send you email notifications about newly logged errors. Features Automatically detects error log location. Explains how to configure PHP error logging if it’s not enabled yet. The number of displayed log entries is configurable. Sends you email notifications about logged errors (optional). Configurable email address and frequency. You can easily clear the log file. The dashboard widget is only visible to administrators. Optimized to work well even with very large log files. Usage Once you’ve installed the plugin, go to the Dashboard and enable the “PHP Error Log” widget through the “Screen Options” panel. The widget should automatically display the last 20 lines from your PHP error log. If you see an error message like “Error logging is disabled” instead, follow the displayed instructions to configure error logging. Email notifications are disabled by default. To enable them, click the “Configure” link in the top-right corner of the widget and enter your email address in the “Periodically email logged errors to:” box. If desired, you can also change email frequency by selecting the minimum time interval between emails from the “How often to send email” drop-down.

WP-Memory-Usage is a lightweight but powerful WordPress plugin that monitors and displays memory usage directly in your WordPress admin area. It is essential for site administrators and developers who need to keep an eye on memory consumption, identify bottlenecks, and act before users are affected. What the plugin shows: In the admin footer (every admin page): * Current memory usage vs. WordPress limit (with percentage) * Current memory usage vs. PHP limit (with percentage) * Server IP address and server name * PHP version In the Dashboard widget (“Memory Overview”): * PHP version, architecture (32/64 bit), max execution time * WordPress memory limit (WP_MEMORY_LIMIT), WordPress admin limit (WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT), PHP memory limit * Current peak memory usage with a visual progress bar (colour-coded: green / orange / red) * Latest digest status summary (warn / danger / critical badges) * Link to the Threshold Alerts settings page Settings & Monitor — Tabs (since 2.0.0): Settings — thresholds, logging options, email alerts, log rotation History — latest logged requests with full context (URL, type, user, memory) Digest — aggregated summaries of past log intervals; browse, merge, and delete digest files ️Actions — practical guidance on what to do when you receive a memory alert Diagnose (new in 2.1.0) — full PHP/WordPress configuration snapshot with a ready-to-paste AI prompt for analysis Memory Thresholds — current limits, threshold assessment, and recommendations Check Installation — verifies that the plugin can run correctly on your server Why Use WP-Memory-Usage?
