Troubleshooting Mode was initially a feature introduced via the Health Check plugin, and is now available as a standalone plugin.
The most common, and reliable, means of troubleshooting a website using WordPress, is by first disabling all plugins, and using one of the default themes that come with the software. 
The best way to do this, is by the use of a staging website, but not all website hosting providers have this feature, or it may not be part of the plan you are currently on.
Troubleshooting Mode will do its best to allow a site maintainer to disable plugins, and switch themes, without affecting regular visitors to your website.

Troubleshooting

Provides a Troubleshooting Mode to help with support and debugging.

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!
