Faq

Does this plugin work with all major PHP versions?

Yes! It is fully compatible and tested with PHP 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3.

Does it slow down my website?

Absolutely not. The Server metrics are only loaded when an Administrator is actively viewing the backend dashboard. It has absolutely zero impact on your frontend site speed or database load.

Is Server Info Plugin GDPR compliant?

Yes, absolutely. It only queries local server environments and does not track your website visitors in any way. No data is sent to third-party servers.

Who can view the Server Info dashboard?

For strict security reasons, only users with the manage_options capability (which is restricted to Administrators) are permitted to view the dashboard or see the top admin bar HUD.

Does it show caching status?

Yes! The plugin automatically checks if object caching modules like Redis, Memcached, or PHP OPcache are loaded and enabled on your server.

Server Info menu item missing on some sites

By David Favor (dfavor) on September 21, 2019

No indication of reason of problem. The "Server Info" menu item simply fails to appear on some sites.

Not worth the hassle

By hussong on May 4, 2019

Plugin asks to share data upon activation and requires to fill in a form before deactivating. Doesn't even show that much helpful data.

useful

nice after a migration, to know on which server we are

Essential website info - a must have...

By Bjarne Oldrup (oldrup) on March 18, 2019

Was I running PHP 5.6 og 7.1 on this website? How much memory is available. MariaDB or MySQL? When troubleshooting you always need this kind of info, and Server Info shows that. No bells and whistles, simple and clean.

Great for some needs, but not quite there for others...

By Roger Holman (flight750) on March 17, 2019

This plugin says that it "... will show you useful information about the hosting server you are using..." including Server OS. It does report SOME useful information about the server OS, but a key aspect NOT included is what OS distribution it is running (e.g. Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) When I uninstalled it, it prompted with a question as to why I was uninstalling (I think this is also a good idea, BTW). I provided comments and links to potential locations the author might look to use that will help determine what the distribution is.

Crashed with Fatal Error

By paulswarthout on March 20, 2018

This is exactly what I needed. Unfortunately, it didn't work -- or rather, it crashed with two notices: Undefined index 'SERVER_ADDR' and undefined index 'SERVER_ADMIN' and one fatal error "Call to undefined function mysqli_connect()". In all fairness, I'm using version 4.9.4 of WordPress and the documentation shows that the Server Info plugin hasn't been tested with it. But I didn't expect a fatal error crash. This WordPress site is on a 3rd party shared hosting platform running IIS. I have a plugin that I am developing that works flawlessly on my other WordPress sites but fails on this one. I suspect an out-of-date component -- either PHP or MySQL or something unexpected. I was hopeful that the Server Info plugin would help me track down the culprit.

Works great

By Arcelius on September 7, 2017

I like that it shows info on the dashboard and more info on a separate page!

Easy to use and helpful!
