Description
Web Plura Diagnostics is a free local WordPress problem advisor for site owners, agencies, and admins. It scans wp-admin-side signals and tells you:
- What is wrong
- Why it matters
- What business impact it may cause
- Who should fix it
- What to fix first
No cloud account, no tracking, and no frontend scripts are required for the core diagnostics workflow.
Key Checks
- Fix First dashboard with score, priority groups, recommended actions, and recent-change history.
- Site Health-style checks for WordPress, PHP, database, HTTPS, debug visibility, updates, cache signals, and key permissions.
- Email readiness checks for local mail transport, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain alignment, and manual admin-triggered test email results.
- Lead Capture Health checks for form plugins, contact pages, SMTP readiness, privacy-page status, and form-plugin updates.
- Pre-update Safety checks for inactive plugins, theme updates, commerce plugins, builders, cache plugins, and recovery readiness.
- Hosting Advisor checks for memory, cache, cron pressure, upload limits, execution limits, and host-support guidance.
- Client-ready diagnostics with problem, impact, owner, urgency, next action, JSON/CSV exports, WP-CLI commands, and multisite network visibility.
Good fit for:
- Site owners who want a clear first-pass health and configuration review
- Agencies maintaining multiple WordPress sites
- Support teams collecting safe local diagnostics before deeper troubleshooting
- WordPress admins who want prioritized actions without telemetry

External Services
Web Plura Diagnostics is local-first. Diagnostics scans, dashboard rendering, exports, scheduled scans, and helper status checks run inside WordPress by default.

The public WordPress.org package uses WordPress.org update checks. Direct/private WPlura builds may request a signed WPlura release manifest from https://wplura.com/api/v1/public/plugin-updates/web-plura-diagnostics/manifest and send only the plugin slug, current version, and release channel.
Data, retention, and uninstall behavior:
- Diagnostics results, history snapshots, explain-mode preference, scheduled-scan settings, export metadata, and manual test-email metadata are stored locally in WordPress options/transients.
- Retention settings allow site admins to control how long local diagnostic history and email-test metadata are kept.
- Uninstall cleanup removes plugin-owned options, transients, scheduled scan hooks, and local diagnostic metadata.

FAQ
-
Who is Web Plura Diagnostics for?
-
It is for WordPress site owners, agencies, support teams, and administrators who want a local health, security, configuration, email, hosting, and update-readiness review before deeper troubleshooting.
-
Does this plugin require a cloud account?
-
No. It works locally inside WordPress.
-
Will this slow down my website?
-
No frontend scripts or frontend monitoring are added by default. Diagnostics run inside wp-admin, scheduled scans are optional, and the plugin does not automatically change public content.
-
Does this send my site data to Web Plura?
-
No. The free plugin is local-first and does not send diagnostics, logs, or telemetry to an external server by default.
-
Does it replace a firewall, malware scanner, or backup plugin?
-
No. It provides local diagnostic insights and prioritized guidance. Use a dedicated firewall, malware response process, and backup/restore system where those protections are required.
-
Does it send emails automatically?
-
No. It only sends a manual test email when an admin explicitly clicks the button.
-
Does it perform updates automatically?
-
No. It only provides update-safety guidance.
-
Does it support Multisite?
-
Yes. It includes a multisite network dashboard surface for cross-site diagnostics visibility. Individual site access still follows WordPress capability checks.
-
Does it include WP-CLI support?
-
Yes. Admins can use
wp web-plura-diagnostics scan,wp web-plura-diagnostics export, andwp web-plura-diagnostics cleanupfor local operational workflows. -
Does it integrate with WordPress Site Health?
-
Yes. WordPress Site Health can show a cached Web Plura Diagnostics score after diagnostics have run. The Site Health test reads cached local results and does not start a fresh scan.
-
Can wp-admin start, stop, or ping the local helper daemon?
-
No. The WordPress.org-ready package can prepare local helper connection details in wp-admin, but helper lifecycle actions must run from trusted server tooling, WP-CLI/server cron, or a private helper distribution.
-
Does it collect telemetry?
-
No. It stores local diagnostics cache and limited local metadata only.
-
What data is removed on uninstall?
-
The plugin removes plugin-owned options, transients, scheduled scan hooks, local diagnostic history, and local action metadata during uninstall.
-
Where can I get support or product information?
-
Use the WordPress.org support forum, or visit https://wplura.com/products/web-plura-diagnostics.
