The Site Health Tools plugin implements a selection of additional tools to the Site Health section of your site, to help you diagnose common issues.
These are checks that require some form of user interaction, and therefore are not as good of a fit as the automatic nature of the normal Site Health checker.
Providing tools such as: 
– Debug log viewer 
– File integrity checker 
– PHP information 
– Mail sending test 
– Plugin PHP compatibility checker 
– And more…

Site Health Tools


Some Site Health tests and diagnostic tools are not suited for automated testing, and always to be executed and shown in the Site Health main Status tab. They may also not be pure static information, or limited size suited for the Info tab, like text/log file contents. This excellent, high quality plugin lists such tools, tests and viwers in an accordion under an additional Site Health tab labelled Tools.







This accordion is filterable and hence extendable for developers to add their own special tools. To ensure such modifaction or additions to always work, developers may declare this plgins as a dependcy of their own.







The included tools in version 1.0 are not quite perfect and complete yet, but will most likely be enhanced through constructive feedback from the community.







Immature features:




Debug Logs: It uses the WP_DEBUG_LOG constant to determin the log file, not assuming debug.log.and this is excellent. But what about a very large log file?



File Integrity reportsversion.phpto be modified on localized installations



Plugin Compatibility: A lot of processing on third party service just to return that "Highest supported PHP" is either "Could not be determined" or "8.0", ignoring what the plugins themselves declare, and never reports any higher than 8.0.



Transient Summary does not separate expired transients. The description does not warn that deleting all transient may slow down the site or the admin for a while, until regenerated.








A few enhancements and this is five stars from me!


All Site Helath related tools in one place


I like how it just works, is unobtrusive and simple. Great work

A. Smith Health Monitor scans your active plugins and gives each one a health score based on update status, compatibility, performance impact, and known conflict patterns. It flags common patterns such as running multiple caching or SEO plugins at the same time, which can contribute to site issues.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Plugin Health Scores – Each active plugin gets a score (0-100) based on update freshness, WordPress compatibility, active installs, support resolution rate, and rating.</li>
<li>Conflict Detection – Detects multiple plugins in the same category (caching, SEO, security, backup, minification) that commonly cause conflicts.</li>
<li>Performance Profiling – Measures each plugin’s footprint: file count, disk size, registered hooks, autoloaded options, and estimated memory usage. Labels plugins as lightweight, moderate, or heavy.</li>
<li>Safe Mode – One-click conflict isolation testing. Temporarily hides all plugins except one to help identify which is causing issues. No database changes — uses WordPress filters. Auto-expires after 15 minutes.</li>
<li>PHP Error Detection – Scans your debug log for plugin-related errors and groups them by source plugin.</li>
<li>Hook Congestion Alerts – Warns when many plugins are hooked into sensitive WordPress hooks like <code>the_content</code> or <code>wp_head</code>.</li>
<li>Email Health Reports – Scheduled email digests (daily/weekly/monthly) with your site’s health score, issues, and recommendations.</li>
<li>Actionable Recommendations – Prioritized suggestions to resolve conflicts, update plugins, and improve performance.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin.</li>
<li>Visit Health Monitor in your admin menu.</li>
<li>View your overall health score and per-plugin report cards.</li>
<li>Click Run New Scan for a fresh analysis.</li>
<li>Use Test in Safe Mode to isolate any suspicious plugin.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
Scans run locally on your site and are cached in WordPress transients. Optionally, you can enable “Allow enhanced plugin metadata lookup” in Settings to fetch public ratings and update data for your active plugins from the WordPress.org plugin directory. This option is disabled by default. No data is sent to A. Smith Media servers.
<h4>Pro Features (Optional Add-On)</h4>
The free version is fully functional on its own. A Pro add-on is available separately at <a href="https://asmith.media/health-monitor/" rel="nofollow ugc">asmith.media/health-monitor</a> with:
<ul>
<li>Auto-rollback on detected conflicts</li>
<li>Real-time conflict monitoring dashboard</li>
<li>Performance history and trends (Chart.js graphs)</li>
<li>Slack and email alert notifications</li>
<li>White-label reports for agencies</li>
<li>PDF health report export</li>
</ul>
