Frequently Asked Questions

Does SitePulse slow my site down?

No. SitePulse is built to be lightweight and runs asynchronously. Profiling is optional and can be toggled off anytime.

Does SitePulse use external services?

Yes, but only for optional enhanced features. SitePulse can communicate with api.sitepulse.me to provide PageSpeed reports and AI diagnostics. The core monitoring features work 100% locally without any external connection. Only performance metrics (plugin names, load times, memory usage) are sent — never personal data or user content.

What data does SitePulse send externally?

When enhanced features are enabled, SitePulse sends only performance-related data: plugin names/versions, hook execution times, memory usage, and API request metrics. NO personal information, user data, database content, or sensitive information is ever collected or transmitted.

Can it work with WooCommerce or multisite?

Yes. SitePulse tracks any page or post type, including WooCommerce product pages and multisite environments.

Is this a “Lite” version with limited features?

No. This is the Core version of SitePulse. It is a fully functional, unlimited performance monitor. We are building a separate Pro version for advanced historical data and AI features, but the features you see here today will remain free forever.
