<p>Scanfully is your favorite WordPress performance and site health monitoring tool.</p>
<h3>SCANFULLY FOR WORDPRESS</h3>
<p>Scanfully is a WordPress performance, site health, and content health monitoring tool. This plugin connects your WordPress site to your <a href="https://scanfully.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Scanfully</a> dashboard and acts as the bridge between the two.</p>
<p>The plugin syncs essential site information and securely sends activity data to Scanfully, where it is stored and processed externally. By hosting this data outside of WordPress, Scanfully avoids adding database load or performance overhead to your site.</p>
<p>Combined with external performance checks, uptime monitoring, Broken Links, Broken Media, and a hosted WordPress Activity Log, Scanfully gives you a clear and actionable overview of your site’s health. You can see what changed, when it changed, and how those changes affect performance, stability, and user experience.</p>
<p>The result is a healthier WordPress site, with better visibility, less guesswork, and full control over what happens on your site.</p>
<h3>ONE DASHBOARD TO RULE THEM ALL</h3>
<p>Your Scanfully Dashboard consolidates all your WordPress sites, sending you timely alerts for required changes.</p>
<p>Easily connect changes made inside your WordPress site to performance and site health impact. Get notifications for the events that are important to you. Right when they happen. Exactly when you want to know they happen.</p>
<h3>SCANFULLY FEATURES</h3>
<p>Scanfully helps you stay on top of your WordPress Site Health and Performance in many ways. Let’s take a look at what we have available:</p>
<h4>SINGLE DASHBOARD</h4>
<p><strong>All your sites in one dashboard</strong> allowing you to easily navigate to the various monitoring features.</p>
<h4>WORDPRESS ACTIVITY LOG</h4>
<p>Our WordPress Events Timeline <strong>collects all changes happening inside your WordPress admin</strong>. All these events combined with our checks provide you a unique insight into what’s going on. No longer do you have to guess what change caused the problem your client just reported and insisted he didn’t do anything to cause it.</p>
<h4>BROKEN LINKS MONITOR</h4>
<p>The Broken Links monitor checks your site for internal and external links that no longer work. It detects links that return error responses and shows where they were found, so you can fix dead ends before users run into them. This helps keep navigation predictable and content references accurate.</p>
<h4>BROKEN MEDIA MONITOR</h4>
<p>The Broken Media monitor checks the media assets used on your pages, including images, scripts, stylesheets, (YouTube) videos, audio, embeds, and iframes. It detects assets that fail to load and shows exactly where they are used. This helps prevent layout issues, broken functionality, and silent performance regressions.</p>
<h4>UPTIME MONITORING</h4>
<p>Scanfully checks your WordPress sites with <strong>comprehensive uptime monitoring</strong> and <strong>smart notifications</strong></p>
<h4>PERFORMANCE MONITORING</h4>
<p>We do fequent <strong>Performance Checks</strong> to measure how fast your site loads, and provide you with an easy to read graph and recommendations</p>
<h4>SITE HEALTH</h4>
<p><strong>One Site Health dashboard to rule them all</strong>. We collect and import all of your WordPress site’s health data in one view. Easy insights into the site health metrics that matter the most for your site.</p>

I used a bunch of different services to monitor my clients WordPress sites. Super happy that Scanfully is building a modern take on it. The setup flow is pretty smooth and the metrics are very useful. The support is quick to reply, I recommend you give it a try.


Love the clean look and smooth setup flow
