Issues Tracker vs Site Health Manager

Issues Tracker allows you view and search WordPress logs, receive security advice, track 404 errors, and view your server settings. We’ve designed the Issues Tracker plugin with accessibility and simplicity in mind. Say goodbye to the hassle of reading and searching through the debug.log file on your server. With the Issues Tracker, you can access and search logs directly within your CMS, making them easily readable and searchable. Additionally, our plugin provides email notifications for various error events and covers more issues than a typical WP health checker. Enhance your website’s security and performance with these key features: Debug Log Viewer Effortlessly view notices, warnings, and errors from the WordPress debug.log file in a user-friendly table format. Utilize advanced search options (by error type, line, and file) and pagination for quick and convenient log management. WordPress 404 Errors Identify and list all 404 (page not found) errors on your website, and configure email notifications for these events. For example, receive email alerts for every 404 event. Advisor Receive expert recommendations on server and site settings to boost your website’s speed and security. Get notified via email if your server’s condition deteriorates. Server info Keep track of all your server settings in one centralized location. Issues Tracker automatically parses the phpinfo() output, providing you with comprehensive server information. No need to dig into the server configuration files manually – everything is neatly displayed for you. Website Checks Our plugin evaluates your website based on various criteria, including: – Checking if the database username used in wp-config.php is widely used. – Verifying the security of the database password in wp-config.php. – Examining the state of the WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY constant. – Ensuring you are not using the default database prefix. – Verifying SSL (https) encryption status. – Checking the PHP version for updates. – Confirming that the WordPress version matches the HTML code. – Checking if search engines allowed to index a website …and many more checks in future releases.

Make sure your health score is correct by running only the tests relevant to your server configuration. Take some protective measures to keep your critical server data hidden and secure. Status Manager Site Health Status screen generates a health score based on tests it runs on the server, but some tests may not be relevant to your server setup. This may cause a low health score, unhappy site owners, and complaints for web hosts. Select the test you want to disable in order to prevent displaying the wrong health score in your Site Health Status screen. For example, missing PHP extensions for security reasons or disabled background updates to allow version control. Info Manager Site Health Info screen displays configuration data and debugging information. Some data in this screen is confidential and sharing critical server data should be done with caution and with security in mind. Select what information you want to disable in order to prevent your users from copying it to the clipboard when sharing debug data with third parties. For example, when sending data to plugin/theme developers to debug issues. Contribute If you want to contribute, visit Site Health Manager GitHub Repository and see where you can help.
