Description

Katze Site Preflight adds a compact widget to the WordPress dashboard that checks common pre-launch conditions and shows an at-a-glance readiness score.

Each check is weighted and contributes to an overall score out of 100:

  • ✅ 100 — Ready to launch
  • ⚠️ 80–99 — Ready to launch if no issues
  • ⚠️ 60–79 — Please review before launch
  • ❌ 0–59 — Must fix before launch

Individual checks cover:

  • Search engine visibility setting
  • Site icon
  • SSL (HTTPS)
  • Tagline still set to the WordPress default
  • Sample page, “Hello world!” post, and sample comments
  • Pending comments awaiting moderation
  • WP_DEBUG enabled in production
  • Published posts or pages with multibyte (e.g. Japanese) slugs, when the permalink structure includes the post name
  • Published posts still using the “Uncategorized” category

The plugin is read-only — it never changes any site settings or content.

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/katze-site-preflight directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
  3. Open the dashboard to view the Katze Site Preflight widget.
Does this change any site settings?

No. The plugin only reads WordPress settings and content state, then shows the results in the dashboard.

Does this only work with a specific theme?

No. It is designed to work independently from themes.

Can I add my own checks?

Yes. Use the ksp_site_preflight_checks filter to add, remove, or modify checks. Each check is an associative array with status (pass, warn, or error), message, and optional fix (URL) and items (array of strings) keys.

Can I change the score weights?

Yes. Use the ksp_site_preflight_weights filter to adjust the weight of each check. The array is keyed by check ID (e.g. ssl, search_visibility, wp_debug) with integer values. Higher values make a check count more toward the final score.

Has this been tested on PHP 7.4?

Yes. The plugin was linted with php:7.4-cli and also activated successfully on a WordPress environment running PHP 7.4.
