WordPress site health
WordPress site health check for public availability.
WordPress admin health checks are useful, but public monitoring should verify what visitors and customers actually experience.
Run a quick check
Public health signals to check
Availability
Can visitors reach the homepage, key landing pages, wp-admin login, and checkout-critical paths?
HTTPS validity
A valid SSL certificate is part of site health because browser trust warnings stop traffic immediately.
Domain and DNS status
Domain expiration, DNS provider changes, and wrong records can break the site outside WordPress.
Operational checklist
After plugin updates
Run a public check after theme, plugin, or WordPress core updates.
Before campaigns
Check landing pages before paid campaigns, email sends, or marketplace promotions.
For client sites
Agencies should monitor client URLs externally instead of relying only on admin dashboards.
