What does the SiteHale WordPress plugin do?

It provides a free WordPress site health check and can also act as the connection point to a managed care service. The health report runs in plain English from inside your site and checks areas like scheduled tasks, PHP errors, database health, updates, environment status, administrator accounts, and outbound email.

Does the plugin send any data before I connect it?

No. The content says the plugin is fully inert until you choose to connect, and the Site Checkup runs 100% locally on your own site.

Do I need an account to run the free site checkup?

No. The page says no account is required to install the plugin and run the free Site Checkup.

How does the plugin connect to the managed care service?

Connection starts from WordPress core's own authorization screen using Application Passwords. You approve access under your own account, no password is shared, no users are created, and access can be revoked later from your profile.

What happens after I subscribe to the managed care service?

The service runs health checks like these on a weekly schedule, along with SEO optimization, content work, verified backups, and uptime monitoring. The plugin then provides read-only diagnostics for remote checks and shows monthly care reports in wp-admin, including the latest summary and the last 12 reports.

The SiteHale WordPress Plugin

A free, honest health check for your WordPress site — and the one-click doorway to the SiteHale managed care service. No account required. Nothing leaves your site until you say so.

SiteHale is under review for the official WordPress.org plugin directory. Until it’s live there, email us and we’ll send you the plugin directly — same code, same license.

Free Site Checkup — No Account, No Catch

Install the plugin, open SiteHale → Site Checkup, and get a plain-English health report in seconds. It runs entirely on your own site — nothing is transmitted anywhere, ever, until you choose to connect.

Scheduled Tasks

Finds overdue WP-Cron events and Action Scheduler backlog. Dead cron silently stops scheduled posts, backups, and update checks — and most sites never notice.

PHP Errors

Surfaces fatal errors hiding in logs nobody reads, plus oversized error logs quietly eating your disk space.

Database Health

Measures autoloaded-options weight — the most common hidden cause of a slow WordPress site — plus expired transients and table overhead.

Updates & Environment

Lists pending core, plugin, and theme updates — and grades whether your PHP and MySQL/MariaDB versions are past their security-support end dates.

Administrator Audit

Lists every administrator account on your site. An admin you didn’t create is the classic sign of a compromise — this makes it impossible to miss.

Outbound Email Test

One click proves whether your site can actually send mail — before a customer tells you the contact form has been broken for a month.

One Click Connects You to the Full Service

The Site Checkup runs once, when you click it. The SiteHale managed care service runs checks like these — plus SEO optimization, content work, verified backups, and uptime monitoring — on a schedule, every week, with a real human reviewing alerts and a monthly report you can actually read.

If you subscribe, the plugin becomes the companion that ties it together:

Connect

One click starts WordPress core’s own authorization screen. You approve SiteHale under your own account — we never ask for your password, never create users, and you can revoke access any time from Users → Profile.

Health Diagnostics

Read-only endpoints let the SiteHale service run your health checks remotely, every week — even on hosting we can’t reach any other way. Every endpoint requires the credentials you approved.

Care Reports

Your monthly care report renders right in wp-admin: a dashboard widget with the latest summary, plus a Care Reports page keeping your last 12 reports on file.

Our Privacy Promises, In Plain English

Fully inert until you click Connect. Before that, the plugin transmits nothing, anywhere. The Site Checkup runs 100% locally.
No passwords, ever. Connection uses WordPress core’s Application Passwords consent screen — the same mechanism core ships for every trusted integration.
No user creation. The plugin never creates accounts on your site. Access runs under your account, on your terms.
One snapshot, clearly scoped. Connecting sends a one-time site snapshot (WordPress/PHP/database versions, theme, plugin list, permalink settings — no content, no visitor data) so the service can be configured for your site.
Revocable in one click. Disconnect from the plugin, or revoke the Application Password under Users → Profile. Either fully stops all access and transmission.
No front-end code. The plugin adds zero scripts, styles, or markup to your public site. Your visitors — and your PageSpeed score — never know it’s there.
