<ul>
<li>
📈 Real-Time CPU & RAM Monitoring — See your server’s pulse, live. Visual percentage bars that auto-refresh every 60 seconds via the WordPress Heartbeat API. Cross-platform: uses <code>sys_getloadavg()</code> on Linux, COM objects on Windows, and <code>/proc/meminfo</code> for system memory. Fully cached with Transients to prevent server strain.
</li>
<li>
💾 Database Size Tracking — Know exactly how bloated your database is before it becomes a problem. Breaks down <code>data_length</code> vs. <code>index_length</code> for all tables matching your <code>$wpdb->prefix</code>. Results cached for 12 hours with a “Scan Now” AJAX button for on-demand fresh data. Perfect for monitoring WooCommerce database growth during peak sales.
</li>
<li>
🚨 Smart Environment Indicators — Never accidentally run a destructive query on production again. High-visibility color-coded badges in the admin bar: Red for Production, Orange for Staging, Green for Development/Local. Auto-detects <code>WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE</code>, Bedrock (<code>WP_ENV</code>), Kinsta, WP Engine, Pantheon, Flywheel, and more. Optional: highlight the entire admin bar border to match the environment color.
</li>
<li>
📜 Audit Log of Version History — A persistent timeline tracking every shift in your WordPress core, PHP, MySQL, plugin, and theme versions. Hooks into <code>upgrader_process_complete</code> for real-time logging of WordPress updates. Know exactly when and what changed for historical troubleshooting. Limited to the last 50 entries to prevent bloat.
</li>
<li>
🛡️ Health Advisor Notifications — Proactive alerts that predict problems before they happen. Checks your PHP and MySQL versions against known End-of-Life (EOL) dates and flags critical security risks. Integrates directly with the native WordPress Site Health screen via <code>site_status_tests</code>. Flags PHP < 8.1 as a critical security risk.
</li>
<li>
📤 JSON System Info Export — One-click download of your entire technical stack as a structured JSON file. Includes WordPress config, PHP version + all extensions, database details, active theme, all active plugins with versions, server info, and more.

<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.
<ul>
<li>
🏷️ Full Agency White-Labeling — Make it your plugin. Replace “Version Info” and “Gaucho Plugins” with your agency’s name everywhere: the plugin list, dashboard widgets, admin bar, footer, and settings page. Hide Freemius-generated Account, Contact, and Support submenus. Uses the <code>all_plugins</code> filter for seamless Plugins list rebranding.
</li>
<li>
👥 Role-Based Admin Visibility — Keep it simple for clients. A checkbox matrix lets you control exactly which WordPress user roles can see version information in the admin bar, footer, and dashboard widget. Show everything to administrators, hide everything from editors and shop managers. Default: administrator only.
</li>
<li>
🌐 Multi-Site Network Dashboard — A centralized command center for WordPress Multisite. A dedicated page under Network Admin > Settings shows a table of every site on the network with columns for site name, URL, WP version, PHP version, MySQL version, and database size. Uses <code>switch_to_blog()</code> safely with network transient caching. Capped at 100 sites for performance.
</li>
<li>
📧 System Change Email Alerts — Get notified the instant something changes. Proactive <code>wp_mail()</code> notifications the moment a hosting provider changes a PHP version, a WordPress core update completes, or any plugin/theme version shifts. Configurable recipient list (comma-separated), per-component toggles, and defaults to the site admin email.
</li>
<li>
🔍 PHP Error Log Dashboard — Debug without FTP or SSH. View the last 100 lines of your <code>debug.log</code> (or custom <code>error_log</code> path) directly inside WordPress. Uses efficient <code>fseek()</code> tail reading — never loads the full log into memory. Sensitive file paths are automatically masked with <code>[ABSPATH]</code>. Download the full log as a ZIP file for offline analysis.

<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.
<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>Strict Typing — Every file uses <code>declare(strict_types=1)</code> and PHP 8.1+ typed properties for maximum reliability.</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>
<blockquote>
“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.” — ★★★★★

My Server Info is a lightweight plugin that displays key server and site information in your WordPress admin panel. It shows details like:
<ul>
<li>PHP Version</li>
<li>MySQL Version</li>
<li>WordPress Memory Limit</li>
<li>PHP Execution Time</li>
<li>PHP Max Input Vars</li>
<li>PHP post_max_size</li>
<li>PHP upload_max_filesize</li>
<li>Site IP Address</li>
<li>Site Time and Timezone</li>
<li>CPU Usage (Average over 1 minute)</li>
<li>Disk Usage</li>
<li>Memory Usage</li>
<li>Server Uptime</li>
</ul>
PHP Version 
PHP Version indicates the current PHP version running on your server. WordPress relies on PHP for its core functionality, and using a supported version (7.4 or higher) ensures better performance, security, and compatibility with themes and plugins.
MySQL Version 
MySQL Version shows the version of the MySQL database your WordPress site is using. A compatible MySQL version (5.7 or higher) is essential for efficient data management, faster queries, and overall site stability.
WordPress Memory Limit 
WordPress Memory Limit defines the maximum amount of memory allocated for WordPress operations. A higher memory limit (256M or more) allows for smoother performance, especially when using resource-intensive plugins or handling large websites.
PHP Execution Time 
PHP Execution Time sets the maximum time a PHP script is allowed to run. Increasing this limit (300 seconds or more) helps prevent timeout errors during lengthy operations, such as bulk uploads or complex plugin processes.
PHP Max Input Vars 
PHP Max Input Vars specifies the maximum number of input variables your server can handle. Setting this to a higher value (3000 or more) ensures that large forms, like those in theme or plugin settings, function correctly without data loss.
PHP post_max_size 
PHP post_max_size determines the maximum size of data that can be submitted via POST requests. Setting this to at least 64M allows for uploading larger files through forms, such as media uploads or bulk data submissions, without encountering size limitations.
PHP upload_max_filesize 
PHP upload_max_filesize defines the maximum size of an individual file that can be uploaded through PHP. A higher limit (64M or more) is important for WordPress sites that handle large media files, plugins, or theme uploads, ensuring users can upload necessary files without restrictions.
Site IP Address 
Site IP Address displays your website’s public IP address. Knowing your site’s IP is useful for configuring DNS settings, troubleshooting connectivity issues, and enhancing site security through access controls.
Site Time and Timezone 
Site Time and Timezone reflect the current date, time, and timezone configured in your WordPress settings. Accurate time settings are crucial for scheduling posts, managing cron jobs, and ensuring consistency across your site’s content and activities.
CPU Usage (Average over 1 minute) 
CPU Usage provides an approximate percentage of CPU utilization averaged over the past minute. This helps in monitoring server performance and identifying potential issues related to high CPU load.
Disk Usage 
Disk Usage shows the percentage of disk space used on your server. Monitoring disk usage helps in managing storage resources effectively and preventing issues related to insufficient disk space.
Admin Bar Integration 
Under each progress bar, administrators can select checkboxes to add specific parameters to the WordPress admin bar. The available options are:
<ul>
<li>Memory Usage: Displays as <code>MEM: X%</code></li>
<li>CPU Usage: Displays as <code>AVG CPU: Y%</code></li>
<li>Disk Usage: Displays as <code>Disk: Z%</code></li>
</ul>
This feature allows quick access to essential server metrics directly from the admin bar, enhancing monitoring efficiency.
Server Uptime 
Displays the server’s uptime by reading the /proc/uptime file on Linux systems and formatting it into days, hours, minutes, and seconds. On unsupported systems (e.g., Windows), it will show “Unavailable”.
