WP Maximum Execution Time Exceeded is a very simple and effective plugin. If you’re receiving the message “Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded” or “Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded,” this plugin is for you.
A time out means that the process you would like to complete is simply taking longer that the program will allow. The clock needs to be set for a longer time period. To address the problem of maximum execution time exceeded, WordPress Codex offers two solutions. One, edit the .htaccess file and two, edit the php.ini file. This plugin uses the first of the two suggestions. WP Maximum Execution Time Exceeded will add and delete the necessary code to the .htaccess file.
When WP Maximum Execution Time Exceeded is activated after installation, the plugin will write to the .htaccess file. To delete the code, simply deactivate the plugin. There is no administration page.
You do not have to delete the files to remove the code. When you’re ready to rewrite the code to the .htaccess file, simply activate it. This allows you to test your process with a longer timeout. It’s that simple! And of course, this plugin creates no load on your website. It’s so light weight; you’ll never know it’s there.

WP Maximum Execution Time Exceeded

I know enough to edit .htaccess files but couldn't manage to extend the execution time without creating an Error 500.

One click and this did the job...and taught me how to do it manually in future ;o)

Perfect

Did you receive a message, "Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded?" Not anymore. Just Plug'n-Play. It's that easy!

This plugin sends you an email notification whenever a fatal error (or other error level, configurably) is detected on your site.
Unlike traditional uptime monitoring services, which will only notify you if your entire site is down, this plugin can notify you when an error is detected on any page or process on your site.
Automatic plugin and theme updates often introduce problems that you aren’t aware of until they’re reported by your visitors. Fatal Error Notify lets you address these issues as they occur and before they cause significant problems.

Fatal Error Notify

Great plugin

Thiss plugin is useful but won´t work on certain installs, although this could easily be fixed with some enhancements.

useful plugin but could be improved

I used Fatal Error Notify on a site that kept crashing and I couldn't find out what was going wrong.  The plugin emails the PHP error message and that helped me track down the issue. 

Can be a real lifesaver

Just came here to say that this is an amazing plugin and it's extremely helpful during troubleshooting.

keep up the good work!
