Version Info – Server Health Monitor, PHP & MySQL Version Display, Environment Indicators vs MyServerInfo – Memory Usage, PHP Version, Memory Limit, Execution Time, CPU Usage, Disk Usage

My Server Info is a lightweight plugin that displays key server and site information in your WordPress admin panel. It shows details like: PHP Version MySQL Version WordPress Memory Limit PHP Execution Time PHP Max Input Vars PHP post_max_size PHP upload_max_filesize Site IP Address Site Time and Timezone CPU Usage (Average over 1 minute) Disk Usage Memory Usage Server Uptime PHP Version PHP Version indicates the current PHP version running on your server. WordPress relies on PHP for its core functionality, and using a supported version (7.4 or higher) ensures better performance, security, and compatibility with themes and plugins. MySQL Version MySQL Version shows the version of the MySQL database your WordPress site is using. A compatible MySQL version (5.7 or higher) is essential for efficient data management, faster queries, and overall site stability. WordPress Memory Limit WordPress Memory Limit defines the maximum amount of memory allocated for WordPress operations. A higher memory limit (256M or more) allows for smoother performance, especially when using resource-intensive plugins or handling large websites. PHP Execution Time PHP Execution Time sets the maximum time a PHP script is allowed to run. Increasing this limit (300 seconds or more) helps prevent timeout errors during lengthy operations, such as bulk uploads or complex plugin processes. PHP Max Input Vars PHP Max Input Vars specifies the maximum number of input variables your server can handle. Setting this to a higher value (3000 or more) ensures that large forms, like those in theme or plugin settings, function correctly without data loss. PHP post_max_size PHP post_max_size determines the maximum size of data that can be submitted via POST requests. Setting this to at least 64M allows for uploading larger files through forms, such as media uploads or bulk data submissions, without encountering size limitations. PHP upload_max_filesize PHP upload_max_filesize defines the maximum size of an individual file that can be uploaded through PHP. A higher limit (64M or more) is important for WordPress sites that handle large media files, plugins, or theme uploads, ensuring users can upload necessary files without restrictions. Site IP Address Site IP Address displays your website’s public IP address. Knowing your site’s IP is useful for configuring DNS settings, troubleshooting connectivity issues, and enhancing site security through access controls. Site Time and Timezone Site Time and Timezone reflect the current date, time, and timezone configured in your WordPress settings. Accurate time settings are crucial for scheduling posts, managing cron jobs, and ensuring consistency across your site’s content and activities. CPU Usage (Average over 1 minute) CPU Usage provides an approximate percentage of CPU utilization averaged over the past minute. This helps in monitoring server performance and identifying potential issues related to high CPU load. Disk Usage Disk Usage shows the percentage of disk space used on your server. Monitoring disk usage helps in managing storage resources effectively and preventing issues related to insufficient disk space. Admin Bar Integration Under each progress bar, administrators can select checkboxes to add specific parameters to the WordPress admin bar. The available options are: Memory Usage: Displays as MEM: X% CPU Usage: Displays as AVG CPU: Y% Disk Usage: Displays as Disk: Z% This feature allows quick access to essential server metrics directly from the admin bar, enhancing monitoring efficiency. Server Uptime Displays the server’s uptime by reading the /proc/uptime file on Linux systems and formatting it into days, hours, minutes, and seconds. On unsupported systems (e.g., Windows), it will show “Unavailable”.

Instead of asking for their login credentials, you ask them to screenshot their admin footer. You instantly know their PHP version, MySQL version, WordPress version, and web server — without ever logging into their site. “The WooCommerce Specialist” Black Friday is coming. You use Database Tracking to monitor table size growth during the high-traffic event. When wp_options grows 300% overnight, you catch the autoloaded transient bloat before it takes down the store. “The Agency Owner” You hand over a beautifully built site to a high-ticket client. With White-Labeling, the client never sees “Gaucho Plugins” — they see your agency name everywhere. With Role-Based Visibility, the client’s editors see a clean dashboard without confusing server information. “The Safety-First Developer” You manage staging and production environments for the same client. The bright red “Production” badge in your admin bar prevents you from ever accidentally running a migration script on the live site. The admin bar highlight makes the environment unmistakable. “The Managed Hosting Reseller” You run 40 sites on a Multisite installation. The Network Dashboard gives you a single page showing WP, PHP, and MySQL versions across every site — perfect for planning bulk upgrades. When a host updates PHP overnight, the Email Alert hits your inbox before the first support ticket arrives. “The Remote Debugger” A client’s site throws a white screen. You open the Error Log Dashboard directly in wp-admin — no FTP client, no SSH terminal. The last 100 lines show a fatal error from a plugin update. The Version History tab confirms the plugin updated 10 minutes ago. Root cause found in under 60 seconds. “The wp-server-stats Replacer” You’ve been using the abandoned WP Server Health Stats plugin since 2017 because nothing modern replaced it — until now. The Version Info PRO dashboard widget gives you CPU/RAM bars with live sparklines, disk usage, database size with data vs index split, server OS / hostname / IP / port / uptime / location — all in one widget, on every dashboard load, refreshed via the WordPress Heartbeat API. No shell_exec() (so it works on Kinsta, WP Engine, Cloudways), no abandoned dependencies, no rebuilds required. ⚡ Performance & Architecture Version Info is built with performance as the #1 priority: Transients API — All resource-heavy metrics (CPU, RAM, DB size) are cached. CPU/RAM uses 60-second TTL; database size uses 12-hour TTL. Heartbeat API — Live resource updates use the native WordPress Heartbeat, ensuring data refreshes only when the admin page is active. Provider Pattern — A ProviderInterface abstracts all detection logic, making it trivial to add custom providers for AWS, Kinsta, or any host-specific API. Hook-First Architecture — Every data point fires a WordPress filter (version_info_wp_version, version_info_php_version, etc.) and every render point fires an action. Extend anything without editing core files. See the hooks reference. Broad Compatibility — The codebase deliberately avoids language features that would lock out legacy hosts, so the plugin still installs on PHP 5.6+ and WordPress 4.7+ (which is, after all, who this plugin is built for). Modern PHP is auto-detected and used where available. WordPress Coding Standards — Follows WPCS, uses proper escaping, nonce verification, capability checks, and prepared SQL queries throughout. 🌍 Works With Your Stack Version Info auto-detects and works seamlessly with: Hosts: Kinsta, WP Engine, Pantheon, Flywheel, Cloudways, SiteGround, and any standard LAMP/LEMP host Environments: Bedrock, Trellis, Local by Flywheel, MAMP, WAMP, Docker, DevKinsta Servers: Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, OpenLiteSpeed, IIS Multisite: Full network-level support with dedicated Network Admin page (Agency) Translations: 13+ languages with full RTL support 📣 What WordPress Professionals Are Saying “I install this on every client site.
