Talking Monkey Insights gives you a site health snapshot in your WordPress admin — and exposes the same data via a secure REST API so you can monitor multiple sites from your own dashboard.
<h4>What you see in WP Admin</h4>
<ul>
<li>Updates — count + list of plugins needing updates, theme update count, core update status</li>
<li>Security — threats blocked, login attempts blocked, last scan results (auto-detected from WordFence or Defender)</li>
<li>Backups — last backup time, backup count, next scheduled backup (auto-detected from UpdraftPlus or Snapshot)</li>
<li>SSL — days until expiry with color-coded status</li>
<li>REST API — endpoint URL + your API key + enable/disable toggle</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why the REST API matters</h4>
If you manage multiple WordPress sites — agency, freelance portfolio, internal IT — built-in WP Site Health is shallow and ManageWP/MainWP require connecting to their proprietary dashboards. This plugin gives you a clean, secure REST endpoint at <code>/wp-json/tm/v1/stats</code> that you can hit from your own dashboard, BI tool, Slack bot, or whatever you already use.
The endpoint requires an API key (auto-generated on activation; regeneratable). No other authentication.
<h4>Multi-ecosystem detection</h4>
Most site monitoring plugins lock you into one ecosystem. This one auto-detects whichever security and backup plugin you have installed:
<ul>
<li>Security: WordFence or Defender</li>
<li>Backups: UpdraftPlus or Snapshot</li>
</ul>
Don’t have either installed? The corresponding section shows a neutral “no supported plugin detected” state. No upsells, no recommendations to install anything.
<h4>Privacy</h4>
This plugin does not send any data outside of your WordPress site without your explicit configuration. No telemetry. No analytics. No phone-home.
The REST API endpoint is enabled by default but can be disabled in settings. When enabled, access requires an API key. The plugin only responds to authenticated requests; it never proactively contacts external services.
<h4>Built by an agency that uses it</h4>
Talking Monkey hosts WordPress sites for our own clients. We built this plugin to monitor them from our internal dashboard — and made it free + open source so other agencies and site owners can do the same. We need it to be trustworthy because we install it on every site we host.
