<p>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>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
