AVAR Server Monitor Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
AVAR Server Monitor keeps an eye on the technical health of your WordPress site — from a single, clean dashboard. Every feature is free, translation-ready, and there are no upsells.
Overview & WordPress info
- At-a-glance dashboard: environment, versions, resources, health and pending updates.
- Plugin/theme/user/content counts with plugin-update health.
Versions & display
- Show WordPress, PHP, web server and MySQL versions in the admin bar, footer or a dashboard widget.
System resources
- Live CPU load, memory and database size via the WordPress Heartbeat API, with hourly history and per-directory storage sizes.
Uptime monitoring (multi-domain)
- Periodic availability and response-time checks at a chosen interval (1/5/10/30/60 min).
- Auto-detects every domain pointing at the site and monitors each one separately, with optional downtime emails.
Environment & location
- Detects Production / Staging / Development / Local (WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE, Bedrock, WP Engine, Kinsta, Pantheon) with a colour-coded admin-bar badge.
- Privacy-first server-location detection; optional providers (Cloudflare, ip-api.com, MaxMind) only when you choose them.
Health Advisor
- PHP and MySQL/MariaDB end-of-life tracking, recommended PHP extensions, OPcache/object-cache and connectivity checks — integrated into Site Health.
Security
- Force HTTPS, optional HSTS, SSL-certificate expiry and a configuration audit with one-click fixes (and revert).
- Optional hardening: disable XML-RPC, restrict the REST API, hide login errors, limit login attempts.
- On-demand core file integrity scan against the official WordPress.org checksums.
Maintenance & history
- Version history, an activity log (plugin/theme/update/role/login events) with filtering, a cron monitor, and a 404 monitor.
- Maintenance / coming-soon mode with an optional auto-launch countdown.
Tools (some opt-in)
- System export (JSON) and CSV history exports.
- Database cleanup and table optimization, plus an autoloaded-options watchdog.
- Debugging panel (toggle WP_DEBUG and friends, view the error log, profile slow queries), phpinfo report and built-in backups — these higher-risk tools are disabled by default and enabled under Tools Advanced Tools.
Access control & alerts
- Restrict monitor output to chosen roles.
- Email alerts on version changes, resource thresholds, and a periodic summary digest.
External services
This plugin can optionally connect to external services. Geolocation services are contacted only when you choose a non-default Server Location provider:
- Cloudflare Trace (https://www.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace) — requests your server’s outbound IP and country code. Used only when the “Cloudflare trace” provider is selected. Cloudflare privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/
- ip-api.com (http://ip-api.com/json/) — geolocates your server’s outbound IP. Used only when the “ip-api.com” provider is selected. Terms: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal
- MaxMind GeoLite2 (https://geolite.info) — geolocates your server’s outbound IP using your MaxMind account ID and license key. Used only when the “MaxMind” provider is selected. Privacy policy: https://www.maxmind.com/en/privacy-policy
The plugin also uses the official WordPress.org API (https://api.wordpress.org):
- Core checksums (https://api.wordpress.org/core/checksums/) — used only when you run the on-demand “Scan Core Files” integrity check, to compare your core files against the official hashes.
- Connectivity test — the Health Advisor performs an outbound request to https://api.wordpress.org to verify your server can reach it. WordPress.org privacy policy: https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/
The Uptime feature sends HTTP requests to the domains you choose to monitor (your own site/domains) to measure availability and response time. No data leaves your own infrastructure for this check.
No data is sent to any third-party service unless you enable the corresponding feature.
