MegaManager Connector allows you to connect your WordPress site to the <a href="https://wpmegamanager.com" rel="nofollow ugc">MegaManager</a> platform for:
<ul>
<li>Real-time Monitoring – Keep track of your site’s health and uptime status</li>
<li>Automated Backups – Schedule and manage full-site cloud backups</li>
<li>Remote Updates – Update plugins, themes, and WordPress core remotely</li>
<li>Cache Management – Clear page, object, and OPcache directly from admin bar or dashboard</li>
<li>Plugin Management – Activate and deactivate plugins from the dashboard</li>
<li>Security – Secure communication with HMAC signatures</li>
<li>Database Optimization – Analyze and optimize database tables remotely</li>
<li>Maintenance Mode – Enable/disable maintenance mode without writing files</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the MegaManager platform API to provide remote site management features. The service is hosted at <code>https://wpmegamanager.com/api/fn</code>.
What data is sent and when:
<ul>
<li>Site Registration (on connect): Your site URL, WordPress version, PHP version, and a generated site secret are sent once when you connect the plugin to MegaManager.</li>
<li>Heartbeat (every 5 minutes while connected): Site ID, WordPress version, PHP version, and site URL are sent to confirm your site is online and reachable. The heartbeat is essential for the connection status feature and runs automatically while the plugin is connected. It does NOT send any content, user data, or analytics — only basic environment identifiers.</li>
<li>Metrics (hourly, opt-in only): When you enable telemetry in the plugin settings, performance data (TTFB, page size, plugin list, theme, PHP/WP versions, disk/database size, activity logs) is sent hourly. This is disabled by default and requires explicit opt-in via the Settings > MegaManager page. You can disable it at any time; the setting takes effect immediately.</li>
<li>Backup operations: During cloud backups, your database and wp-content files are uploaded to MegaManager cloud storage via signed URLs.</li>
</ul>
No data is sent until you explicitly connect the plugin by entering a Connect Token from the MegaManager dashboard.

WP Updates Settings

I like this plugin because it takes away the mundane task up updating everything on sites that do not to be babysat. Yeah, it seems to miss some plugins, like iThemes, but that's not surprising since they have their own proprietary update system (so it seems). Handy!
