WordPress Monitoring

Core Monitoring (No Plugin Needed)

Start with the essentials. These checks run externally over the network — no installation required.

Uptime & Availability

Continuous checks with incident detection and recovery confirmation.

Response Time

Spot slowdowns early and investigate spikes before users feel them.

SSL Certificate Monitoring

Get reminders before renewals and alerts for invalid or expired certificates.

Domain Expiry Tracking

Timely notices so your domain never lapses unexpectedly.

Optional: WordPress Health Signals (via Plugin)

Your WordPress site can look up — and still be broken. Many WordPress failures don’t take the whole site offline. They break things silently: updates, background jobs, APIs, or risky configuration changes.

When you connect the Watchman Tower WordPress plugin, your site can securely report real WordPress health signals — giving you deeper visibility and earlier warnings.

What Watchman Tower Can See Inside WordPress

• WordPress & PHP versions — detect outdated or risky versions early.
• Update status — know when core, plugin, or theme updates are pending.
• REST API & Cron health — catch silent failures that break background jobs.
• Security flags — visibility into XML-RPC and user registration exposure.
• Active plugin snapshot — understand what changed when something breaks.

Catch Memory Issues Before They Crash Your Site

Memory pressure is one of the most common reasons WordPress sites slow down, throw 500 errors, or become unstable. Most people notice it only after things break.

With the plugin connected, Watchman Tower can surface key memory and caching signals in one place: current and peak PHP memory usage, memory limits, and caching visibility (e.g., OPcache, object cache).

That means you can get an early warning before the admin panel freezes, pages slow down, or the site crashes.

From Signals to Alerts

WordPress health data isn’t just displayed — it can trigger alerts so you can act early.

• Updates remain pending for too long
• Cron jobs become overdue
• Critical WordPress services stop responding
• Risky configuration changes are detected
• Memory usage stays high or approaches limits

Plugin setup and technical details are available in our documentation: WordPress Agent docs. Core monitoring works without installing anything.
