What you get

A written Markdown report of which plugins were updated, which were held back and how the site checked out afterwards.

What it looks at

  • Which plugin updates are waiting
  • Whether each update looks fine to apply now
  • Site health and key pages after the updates
8 steps

The Steps In Order.

  1. Step 01

    Preflight Readiness

    Checks that updates are pending, the site is healthy, at least 200 MB is free and no other run is active, and records which plugins are active. It stops here if any check fails.

  2. Step 02

    Smart Backup

    Creates a labeled backup of your wp-content folder and your database before any plugin is touched.

  3. Step 03

    Verify Backup Integrity

    Checks the backup files open and the database copy is complete before any update runs.

  4. Step 04

    Assess Compatibility And Build Queue

    Applies only the updates that look safe. Plugins with a known vulnerability go first. Releases under 7 days old, major version jumps, plugins not on wordpress.org and page builder or shop plugins (Elementor, WooCommerce, WPML and similar) are held back.

  5. Step 05

    Apply Updates One At A Time

    Updates the chosen plugins one at a time, checking the site after each. If an update breaks the site, it puts that plugin back and stops, leaving the remaining plugins untouched.

  6. Step 06

    Onsite Functional Verification

    Checks plugin state, error logs and the front end after the updates, and compares active plugins with the start.

  7. Step 07

    Smoke Test Critical Pages

    Reloads the pages that matter and checks each returns real content with no critical error.

  8. Step 08

    Final Report And Release Lock

    Writes the final report, releases the run lock and notifies your channel if one is set.

Which Of Your Sites Needs Looking At?

The free audit looks at the site from the outside, from the address alone. Connect the site afterwards to let playbooks run.

We suggest connecting a staging copy of your site first, before your live site.
