This plugin will perform a number of checks on your WordPress installation to detect common configuration errors and known issues, and also allows plugins and themes to add their own checks.
The debug section, which allows you to gather information about your WordPress and server configuration that you may easily share with support representatives for themes, plugins or on the official WordPress.org support forums.
Troubleshooting allows you to have a clean WordPress session, where all plugins are disabled, and a default theme is used, but only for your user until you disable it or log out.
The Tools section allows you to check that WordPress files have not been tampered with, that emails can be sent, and if your plugins are compatible with any PHP version updates in the future.

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin includes an optional feature to fetch policy baseline updates from an external server. This feature is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled in Plugin Settings.
Remote Policy Baseline (Optional)
When enabled, the plugin fetches health check threshold recommendations from: 
– Service URL: https://baseline.scopefleet.com/policy.v1.json 
– Data sent: No personal or site data is sent. The request is a simple GET request to retrieve a JSON file. 
– When: Only when the “Remote Policy Baseline” option is enabled in Plugin Settings. The data is cached locally for 24 hours. 
– Purpose: Provides updated threshold recommendations for site health metrics (e.g., recommended PHP version, memory limits). 
– Service provider: SILO (silomade.com) 
– Terms of Service: https://silomade.com/terms 
– Privacy Policy: https://silomade.com/privacy
If this feature is not enabled, the plugin uses locally bundled policy defaults and makes no external requests.
