Payment Status Doctor for WooCommerce vs Performance Lab

Payment Status Doctor for WooCommerce helps store owners, developers, and support teams review WooCommerce orders where payment signals and order status may not match. The plugin focuses on manual, local diagnostics. It scans WooCommerce orders, highlights suspicious payment/status mismatches, builds safe support reports, and compares gateway-level health signals. Payment Status Doctor for WooCommerce does not change order statuses, capture payments, refund payments, retry payments, replay webhooks, or call Stripe, PayPal, or other external payment APIs. The plugin is intended for WooCommerce administrators and is available from WooCommerce → Payment Status. Scanner The Scanner tab reviews pending, failed, and on-hold WooCommerce orders for paid-looking signals such as transaction IDs, payment-looking order notes, and gateway payment signals. Suspicious orders are shown with a risk level, reason, masked transaction ID, order edit link, and copyable support report. Reports The Reports tab compares successful payments, suspicious payment/status mismatches, and normal unsuccessful or incomplete orders for a selected period. Reports are generated from WooCommerce order data and are not stored permanently. Gateway Health Gateway Health groups diagnostic results by payment gateway so store owners can see whether suspicious mismatches appear isolated to one gateway or spread across multiple gateways. Settings Settings control Scanner pagination, payment signal keywords, report display options, risk thresholds, and privacy/safety defaults. Privacy and Masking Sensitive data masking is always enabled. Tables, copied reports, copied summaries, and CSV exports avoid exposing customer personal data, full transaction IDs, raw order notes, billing addresses, shipping addresses, phone numbers, customer IP addresses, and raw gateway payloads. All analysis runs locally inside WordPress.

The Performance Lab plugin is a collection of features focused on enhancing the performance of your site, most of which should eventually be merged into WordPress core. The plugin facilitates the discovery and activation of the individual performance feature plugins which the performance team is developing. In this way you can test the features to get their benefits before they become available in WordPress core. You can also play an important role by providing feedback to further improve the solutions. The feature plugins which are currently featured by this plugin are: Embed Optimizer Enhanced Responsive Images Image Placeholders Image Prioritizer Instant Back/Forward Modern Image Formats Optimization Detective (dependency for Embed Optimizer and Image Prioritizer) Performant Translations Speculative Loading View Transitions (experimental) These plugins can also be installed separately from installing Performance Lab, but having the Performance Lab plugin also active will ensure you find out about new performance features as they are developed.
