YoPingMe Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
YoPingMe watches your sites from outside and tells you when they stop
answering. This plugin brings that view into wp-admin: a dashboard widget
listing each of your monitors, whether it is up right now, and its uptime
over the last 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days.
This plugin is a viewer, not a monitor. It cannot detect your own site
going down, because a site that is down does not run PHP. The checking is
done by YoPingMe’s probes from outside your server; the plugin only shows
you what they found. If you want to be told when your site goes down, set
up alerts in your YoPingMe account.
What you get
- A dashboard widget with every monitor’s current status and uptime.
- A clear “as of” timestamp, so you always know how fresh the numbers are.
- An optional one-line badge for your front page footer. It is off by default.
What YoPingMe does
YoPingMe runs HTTP, keyword, SSL, ping and TCP checks against your
endpoints from probes on three continents, and alerts you by email,
webhook or Slack. The free plan covers 10 monitors at 5-minute intervals.
Why the data is cached
The plugin reads your monitors at most once an hour and caches the answer.
The free plan includes a daily budget of API queries, and an hourly read
keeps a busy dashboard well inside it. The widget shows the time of the
last read rather than pretending the numbers are live, and a Refresh link
lets you pull fresh data when you want it.
External services
This plugin connects to the YoPingMe API to fetch your monitors’ status.
- Service: YoPingMe (https://yoping.me/), API endpoint
https://app.yoping.me/api/mcp. - When: only after you save an API key, and at most once an hour when
an administrator views the WordPress dashboard or the plugin’s settings
page. No request is made before a key is configured, and the plugin
schedules nothing in the background. - What is sent: your API key, in an Authorization header, and the name
of the read-only operation being called (list_monitors). No visitor
data, site content, or personal information is transmitted. - What comes back: your own monitors’ names, targets, current status
and uptime percentages.
Terms of service: https://yoping.me/terms/
Privacy policy: https://yoping.me/privacy/
Saving an API key you generated in your own YoPingMe account is what
authorises the plugin to contact that account. Removing the key on the
settings page stops every request immediately and deletes the cached data.
The optional footer badge, when you switch it on, loads one image:
- Service: YoPingMe (https://yoping.me/), badge logo
https://yoping.me/badge/yopingme.svg. - When: only while the badge setting is on, and only on your site’s
front page. Every other page makes no request. The badge is off by
default, so a site that never turns it on never contacts yoping.me here. - What is sent: whatever any image request sends – your visitor’s IP
address, their browser’s user agent, and the address of the page the
badge is on. No cookies are set, no scripts are loaded, and nothing
identifies the visitor beyond that. - What comes back: the YoPingMe logo, as an SVG image.
We count these requests to see which sites the badge is running on.
Turning the badge off on the settings page stops them immediately.
