From the developer
santerref's own description of Uptime Monitoring for WordPress, lightly tidied.
Two of the things that take a site offline are dates on a calendar. The day the SSL certificate expires. The day the domain registration lapses. Both are easy to miss, and both take the whole site down when they pass.
The third one is quieter. WordPress cron stops running and nothing tells you. Backups stop, scheduled posts sit there, security scans never fire, and the admin screen looks exactly the same as always.
This plugin puts all three on your dashboard.
What you see
- Days left on your SSL certificate, and who issued it. Read from outside, the way a visitor sees it.
- Days left before the domain has to be renewed.
- Whether scheduled tasks are running, waiting for a visitor, or not running at all.
Warnings appear at 14, 7 and 3 days before either date, on the dashboard and by email. The emails go to the site administration address and can be turned off on the plugin page.
No account needed
Install it, activate it, and the dashboard widget fills itself in. There is no sign up, no code to paste and nothing to configure.
What it does not do
It does not monitor uptime. A WordPress site cannot tell you that it is down, because when it’s down there is nothing left to tell you. That takes a service watching from outside, which is what My Website is Online does: https://mywebsiteisonline.com/
External services
This plugin relies on My Website is Online, a third party service, to read the two expiry dates it shows you. Your site cannot read them on its own. The certificate has to be inspected from outside, and the registration date comes from the domain registry.
What is sent: the site address, and the WordPress, PHP and plugin versions.
When it is sent: once when you activate the plugin, once when an administrator first opens the dashboard or the plugin page, and once a day after that. Also when you press the check button.
What comes back: the expiry date and issuer of the SSL certificate, and the expiry date of the domain registration.
No personal data is collected and no account is created. My Website is Online never sends a request back to your site.
