This simple plugin creates a <code>/health</code> endpoint to let you monitor the status of your WordPress website. The endpoint tests the status of your database connection and returns a <code>200 OK</code> HTTP status code while your page is healthy. You can read more on HTTP status codes at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes" rel="nofollow ugc">Wikipedia article</a>.
External tools such as website monitoring services can access the exposed endpoint at regular intervals. This can help you verify that your WordPress website is performing correctly.

<h3>Security Model</h3>
Silo Scope takes security seriously:
<ul>
<li>API Token Authentication: Remote sites require a valid token (compared via <code>hash_equals</code>)</li>
<li>Domain Allowlist: Only configured domains can request reports</li>
<li>SSRF Prevention: Blocks loopback, private, and reserved IP ranges</li>
<li>No Tracking: No visitor analytics, pixels, or front-end scripts</li>
</ul>
<h3>Data & Privacy</h3>
<ul>
<li>All checks run inside your WordPress installation</li>
<li>HTTP checks are loopback requests to your own site</li>
<li>Report data stored in WordPress options/transients</li>
<li>Remote monitoring requires explicit opt-in via Connection Code</li>
</ul>
<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.
