Depending on your server setup, there may be tests in the WordPress Site Health tool that are not relevant and will never pass. For example, you may have background updates disabled if your entire site is kept under version control.
This plugin adds a simple settings page to exclude those tests from the Site Health Status page.
Note: This should only be used to disable tests with a legitimate and acceptable reason for failing. It should not be used to hide tests which can be fixed.

Site Health Tool Manager

This plugin enables me to somewhat control the site Health, and having the luxury to not explain certain things to my customers...

Thanks.

Really Good !

If you manage a website for someone who maintains administrator privileges on the site, but would be bothered by failing tests in WordPress 5.2's new Site Health dashboard, this plugin is an excellent tool. 

Note: you should NOT use this plugin to ignore problems on the site like woefully out-of-date PHP or other critical security issues. Instead, you should resolve the root issue. 

But (for example) if your server/host is unable to update to PHP 7.3 (at the time of this review, that's the recommended version) but is running 7.2... it may be useful to remove that "recommendation" from the list of checks temporarily. 

Another plus in the plus-column: this plugin can even remove tests that are added by third-party code.  

Excellent plugin for developers and power users.

Thanks for making this plugin, essential tool so that clients do not get in panic!

Must-have tool for WP 5.2+ and clients... :-)

Easily control which tests appear in the the Site Health Tool

<h4>🛡️ THE ESSENTIAL TECHNICAL HUD FOR EVERY WORDPRESS PROFESSIONAL</h4>
Stop digging through hidden menus or leaving insecure <code>phpinfo()</code> files on your server. <a href="https://versioninfoplugin.com/" title="Visit the Version Info website" rel="nofollow ugc">Version Info</a> is the essential technical dashboard that brings your site’s most vital environment data directly into your daily workflow — the admin footer, the admin bar, or a dedicated dashboard widget.
Whether you’re a freelancer managing dozens of client sites, a developer debugging a complex plugin conflict, or an agency maintaining a portfolio of high-value properties, having instant access to your PHP version, MySQL version, WordPress version, and web server type is a mission-critical utility.

</ul>
<h4>🚀 Core Features (100% Free, Forever)</h4>

<li>🚦 WP-Admin Bar Nodes — Pin your version stack to the admin bar for instant visibility while navigating between pages, posts, and settings.</li>
<li>📊 Dashboard Widget — A dedicated “At a Glance” style widget showing your complete technical stack. Enable it via Screen Options.</li>

🖥️ Live System Resources HUD in the Dashboard Widget
Turn your dashboard widget into a full server-health command center. One toggle lights up 30+ live stats in clean groups:
<ul>
<li>Identity — Environment, Server Location, OS, Hostname, IP, Port, Document Root, Uptime</li>
<li>Live Resources — CPU + Memory bars with sparklines, PHP memory, Disk usage</li>
<li>Database — Size with data/index split, tables, max connections, max packet</li>
<li>PHP — Runtime limits, loaded modules</li>
<li>WP Status — Core / plugin / theme updates, cron, Health Advisor counts</li>
<li>Diagnostics — HTTPS, WP_DEBUG, object cache, timezones</li>
</ul>
The modern replacement for the abandoned wp-server-stats plugin.
📈 Live CPU & RAM Sparklines
Visual bars plus inline sparklines showing the last ~7.5 minutes of activity — direction-of-travel at a glance, not just current values. Recolors green → orange → red at 70% / 90% thresholds. Works on Linux, Windows, and every managed host we’ve tested.
🌍 Server Location — 4 Pluggable Providers
Know exactly which datacenter your site lives in. Pick the provider that fits your privacy needs:
<ul>
<li>Version Info Geolocation (anonymous) — our own Cloudflare Worker, logs nothing, richest data</li>
<li>Cloudflare cdn-cgi/trace — country-only, zero auth</li>
<li>ip-api.com — free legacy provider</li>
<li>MaxMind GeoLite2 — best ASN accuracy (license-key)</li>
</ul>
30-day cache + a one-click “Detect now” button. <a href="https://docs.versioninfoplugin.com/pro-features-server-location/" rel="nofollow ugc">Provider comparison →</a>
💾 Database Size + Connection Limits
Know how bloated your database is before it becomes a problem. Tracks <code>data</code> vs <code>index</code> size for every WP table, plus DB max connections and max packet — critical for WooCommerce stores hitting connection caps during Black Friday. 12-hour cache + “Scan Now” for fresh data.
🛰️ wp-server-stats Parity — and Beyond
Closes the feature gap with the abandoned 2017-era wp-server-stats plugin — without inheriting its <code>shell_exec()</code> dependency that breaks on managed hosts. Adds:
<ul>
<li>Server OS, Hostname, IP, Port, Document Root (path-masked)</li>
<li>Server Uptime (formatted)</li>
<li>PHP Modules accordion (every loaded extension with version)</li>
<li>Disk Usage bar</li>
<li>One-click “Purge VI Caches” button</li>
</ul>
🚨 Smart Environment Indicators
Never accidentally run a destructive query on production again. High-visibility color badges in the admin bar:
<ul>
<li>🔴 Red — Production</li>
<li>🟠 Orange — Staging</li>
<li>🟢 Green — Development / Local</li>
</ul>
Auto-detects Bedrock, Kinsta, WP Engine, Pantheon, Flywheel, and core <code>WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE</code>. Optional admin-bar border highlight matches the environment color.
📜 Version History Audit Log
A persistent timeline of every shift in your WordPress core, PHP, MySQL, plugin, and theme versions. Know exactly when and what changed for fast troubleshooting. Last 50 entries; auto-pruned.
🛡️ Health Advisor
Proactive alerts that predict problems before they happen. Checks your PHP and MySQL versions against known End-of-Life dates and flags critical security risks. Integrates with the native WordPress Site Health screen.
📤 JSON System Info Export
One-click download of your entire technical stack as structured JSON. Perfect for support tickets, host conversations, and pre-migration archives. Includes WordPress config, PHP + extensions, database details, active theme, and every active plugin with version.

<h4>🏛️ Agency Plan — The Command Center for Client Portfolios</h4>
Everything in PRO, plus enterprise-grade tools for agencies, freelancers, and hosting companies managing multiple sites.
<a href="https://versioninfoplugin.com/pricing" title="Version Info Agency pricing" rel="nofollow ugc">Upgrade to Agency →</a> Starting at $49/year.
🏷️ Full Agency White-Labeling
Make it your plugin. Replace “Version Info” and “Gaucho Plugins” everywhere — plugins list, widget, admin bar, footer, settings page. Hide Freemius branding. Optionally:
<ul>
<li>Lock the White Label tab to a single admin so clients can’t undo your branding</li>
<li>Hide every in-plugin docs link sitewide</li>
</ul>
👥 Role-Based Admin Visibility
Keep client dashboards clean. A checkbox matrix controls exactly which WordPress roles see version info in the admin bar, footer, and widget. Default: administrators only.
🌐 Multisite Network Dashboard
A single page under Network Admin → Settings showing WP / PHP / MySQL versions and database size for every site on the network. Cached, capped at 100 sites for performance.
📧 System Change Email Alerts
Get notified the instant something changes — PHP version flips, WP core updates, any plugin or theme version shift. Configurable recipient list, per-component toggles, sensible defaults.
🔍 PHP Error Log Dashboard
Debug without FTP or SSH. View the last 100 lines of your <code>debug.log</code> directly inside WordPress. Efficient tail reading, automatic path masking, ZIP download for offline analysis.
<a href="https://docs.versioninfoplugin.com/agency-features" title="Version Info Agency documentation" rel="nofollow ugc">See the full Agency feature documentation →</a>
<h4>🎯 Real-World Use Cases</h4>
“The Support Hero” 
A client reports a bug. Instead of asking for their login credentials, you ask them to screenshot their admin footer. You instantly know their PHP version, MySQL version, WordPress version, and web server — without ever logging into their site.
“The WooCommerce Specialist” 
Black Friday is coming. You use Database Tracking to monitor table size growth during the high-traffic event. When <code>wp_options</code> grows 300% overnight, you catch the autoloaded transient bloat before it takes down the store.
“The Agency Owner” 
You hand over a beautifully built site to a high-ticket client. With White-Labeling, the client never sees “Gaucho Plugins” — they see your agency name everywhere. With Role-Based Visibility, the client’s editors see a clean dashboard without confusing server information.
“The Safety-First Developer” 
You manage staging and production environments for the same client. The bright red “Production” badge in your admin bar prevents you from ever accidentally running a migration script on the live site. The admin bar highlight makes the environment unmistakable.
“The Managed Hosting Reseller” 
You run 40 sites on a Multisite installation. The Network Dashboard gives you a single page showing WP, PHP, and MySQL versions across every site — perfect for planning bulk upgrades. When a host updates PHP overnight, the Email Alert hits your inbox before the first support ticket arrives.
“The Remote Debugger” 
A client’s site throws a white screen. You open the Error Log Dashboard directly in wp-admin — no FTP client, no SSH terminal. The last 100 lines show a fatal error from a plugin update. The Version History tab confirms the plugin updated 10 minutes ago. Root cause found in under 60 seconds.
“The wp-server-stats Replacer” 
You’ve been using the abandoned WP Server Health Stats plugin since 2017 because nothing modern replaced it — until now. The Version Info PRO dashboard widget gives you CPU/RAM bars with live sparklines, disk usage, database size with <code>data</code> vs <code>index</code> split, server OS / hostname / IP / port / uptime / location — all in one widget, on every dashboard load, refreshed via the WordPress Heartbeat API. No <code>shell_exec()</code> (so it works on Kinsta, WP Engine, Cloudways), no abandoned dependencies, no rebuilds required.
<h4>⚡ Performance & Architecture</h4>
Version Info is built with performance as the #1 priority:
<ul>
<li>Transients API — All resource-heavy metrics (CPU, RAM, DB size) are cached. CPU/RAM uses 60-second TTL; database size uses 12-hour TTL.</li>
<li>Heartbeat API — Live resource updates use the native WordPress Heartbeat, ensuring data refreshes only when the admin page is active.</li>
<li>Provider Pattern — A <code>ProviderInterface</code> abstracts all detection logic, making it trivial to add custom providers for AWS, Kinsta, or any host-specific API.</li>
<li>Hook-First Architecture — Every data point fires a WordPress filter (<code>version_info_wp_version</code>, <code>version_info_php_version</code>, etc.) and every render point fires an action. Extend anything without editing core files. See the <a href="https://docs.versioninfoplugin.com/advanced-configuration-hooks-and-filters" title="Version Info hooks reference" rel="nofollow ugc">hooks reference</a>.</li>
<li>Broad Compatibility — The codebase deliberately avoids language features that would lock out legacy hosts, so the plugin still installs on PHP 5.6+ and WordPress 4.7+ (which is, after all, who this plugin is built for). Modern PHP is auto-detected and used where available.</li>
<li>WordPress Coding Standards — Follows WPCS, uses proper escaping, nonce verification, capability checks, and prepared SQL queries throughout.</li>
</ul>
<h4>🌍 Works With Your Stack</h4>
Version Info auto-detects and works seamlessly with:
<ul>
<li>Hosts: Kinsta, WP Engine, Pantheon, Flywheel, Cloudways, SiteGround, and any standard LAMP/LEMP host</li>
<li>Environments: Bedrock, Trellis, Local by Flywheel, MAMP, WAMP, Docker, DevKinsta</li>
<li>Servers: Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, OpenLiteSpeed, IIS</li>
<li>Multisite: Full network-level support with dedicated Network Admin page (Agency)</li>
<li>Translations: 13+ languages with full RTL support</li>
</ul>
<h4>📣 What WordPress Professionals Are Saying</h4>

“I install this on every client site. It saves me at least 5 minutes per support ticket.” — ★★★★★
“The environment badges alone are worth the upgrade. I’ll never accidentally nuke production again.” — ★★★★★
