A plugin update can break a site without warning
WordPress sites depend on plugins and themes maintained by third parties — an update to any one of them can break a page, and the site owner is often the last to know.
WordPress Monitoring Software
WordPress Monitoring Software for Uptime, SSL, and Health Checks
MonitorMojo helps you monitor WordPress sites from outside the hosting environment. Each health check covers reachability, SSL, response time, and security headers to catch issues after updates.

The Problem
Small misses turn into public failures fast.
wp-admin being reachable isn't the same as the site being healthy
You can log into the dashboard and edit content while the public-facing site is slow, showing a certificate warning, or missing security headers.
Host migrations often drop configuration silently
Moving a WordPress site to new hosting can quietly break SSL, security headers, or redirect rules that worked fine on the old host.
How It Works
1
Add your domain
Enter the website, subdomain, or client property you need to protect.
2
MonitorMojo checks it
Run a real reachability, HTTPS/SSL, response time, and configured health check.
3
Review what needs attention
Use the returned signals to decide what to fix before a browser error or complaint.
Features
Website health checks built for the signals teams forget until they hurt.
public
Checks from outside WordPress
Verify the live, public-facing site the way a visitor experiences it, independent of whether wp-admin is reachable.
verified_user
Post-update verification
Run a check right after a plugin, theme, or core update to confirm nothing broke on the front end.

SSL and security header checks
Confirm certificate validity and header configuration, both common casualties of a host migration.

Response time tracking
Catch a slowdown after adding a new plugin or a heavy theme change.
event
Multi-site support
Check multiple WordPress installs — client sites, multisite networks, staging environments — from one place.
search_check
Proactive detection
Catch a broken page after an update before a visitor or client does.
Who This Is For
Built for teams closest to the website.
WordPress agencies
Check every client's WordPress site after updates, independent of the admin dashboard.
Freelance WordPress developers
Verify a site is healthy after making a change, not just that wp-admin loads.
WordPress maintenance providers
Add a real front-end health check to a care plan built around plugin and core updates.
Why MonitorMojo
Simple checks for real website risk.
Checks the public site, not the admin panel
Reachability, SSL, response time, and security headers are checked on the live front end, which can break independently of wp-admin.
Credit-based pricing
Run a check after every update without a fixed monthly WordPress-monitoring plugin subscription.
Built for the update-and-verify cycle
Fits naturally around the plugin, theme, and core update cadence every WordPress site goes through.
Workflow Guide
What this workflow means
WordPress monitoring software that tracks uptime, SSL certificates, response time, and security headers for WordPress sites. Detect plugin conflicts and configuration issues.
In practice, that means reviewing SSL certificate status, certificate expiry windows, renewal ownership, and post-renewal confirmation from one repeatable process instead of waiting for WordPress maintenance providers to hear about a problem secondhand. A check can show whether a URL is reachable, whether SSL appears valid, how quickly the server responds, and whether selected headers are present — it does not replace a security audit or an incident-response team, but it makes the underlying signals visible before they turn into a bigger issue.
Who should use this
This is built for WordPress maintenance providers — specifically for the moment of reviewing care-plan sites after a plugin or theme update. WordPress sites depend on plugins and themes maintained by third parties — an update to any one of them can break a page, and the site owner is often the last to know. The same workflow is reusable by anyone with a public URL tied to revenue, leads, or reputation.
Detailed step-by-step workflow
Start by listing the URLs that actually matter for reviewing care-plan sites after a plugin or theme update — not every page on the site, just the ones tied to revenue, signups, or trust. Define the check types for each: reachability, HTTP status, HTTPS/SSL status and expiry window, response time, redirects, and security header presence.
Set a cadence that matches the risk: a monthly review for low-traffic pages, a check right after every deploy for anything tied to revenue. When something fails, triage before assuming cause — hosting, DNS, SSL, code, cache, or a third-party script could all be responsible. Record an owner and a next review date, then re-check after the fix ships.
Checklist and template
Use this template for every review: [URL], [Check Type], [Status], [Issue], [Priority], [Owner], [Detected Date], [Next Review Date]. Describe what the check observed before assigning a root cause — 'response time increased' is a fact, 'hosting is the problem' is a guess until confirmed.
For a recurring report, group findings by reachability, SSL, response time, and security headers, and say plainly when a signal showed no issue rather than implying full coverage.
Common mistakes
The most common miss for WordPress maintenance providers is checking only the homepage while a checkout, signup, or booking flow silently breaks. A close second is assuming SSL auto-renewal always works — it can fail quietly, and an external check is the only way to catch it before a browser warning does. The biggest framing mistake is treating one clean check as proof the whole site is covered.
Practical example
Picture reviewing care-plan sites after a plugin or theme update. A scheduled check flags that a key page is slower than its usual baseline and a security header is missing. Verify the live, public-facing site the way a visitor experiences it, independent of whether wp-admin is reachable. Instead of guessing, the team logs the observation, assigns an owner, and re-checks after the fix — turning "something feels off" into a closed-loop task with a timestamp attached.
How MonitorMojo helps
MonitorMojo runs the checks behind wordpress monitoring software for uptime, ssl, and health checks — reachability, SSL, response time, and security headers — from one dashboard, with an API and CLI for teams that want it scripted into an existing workflow. Credit-based checks make it practical to run a review exactly when it matters: before a client call, after a deploy, or the moment someone asks whether the site is healthy.
FAQ
Questions teams ask before they check website health.
Does this check wp-admin, or the public site?
The public-facing front end — reachability, SSL, response time, and security headers — since the admin dashboard being reachable doesn't guarantee the public site is healthy.
Should I check my site after every plugin update?
It's a reasonable habit, especially for updates to plugins that affect page rendering, security, or performance, since these are common sources of a quiet regression.
Can a host migration break things this would catch?
Yes. SSL configuration, security headers, and redirect rules commonly get dropped during a migration, and a check afterward can confirm they carried over correctly.
Can I check a WordPress multisite network?
Yes. Each site or subsite can be checked individually as its own URL.
How much does it cost to check a WordPress site regularly?
