Site Health Tool Manager

Description

Depending on your server setup, there may be tests in the WordPress Site Health tool that are not relevant and will never pass. For example, you may have background updates disabled if your entire site is kept under version control.

This plugin adds a simple settings page to exclude those tests from the Site Health Status page.

Note: This should only be used to disable tests with a legitimate and acceptable reason for failing. It should not be used to hide tests which can be fixed.

What I was looking for!

Excellent, works as expected.

Great Plugin | Still Works

By Generosus (generosus) on January 18, 2023

Thanks for this plugin. Works great.

It continues to capture new Site Health checks added by WordPress and individual plugins (Free and Pro versions).

Can also confirm it's compatible with WP 6.1.1 and PHP 7.4.33.

Well done!

cool!

It works

A plugin that actually works

By MrFume AKA Michael (MrFume) on December 17, 2021

The site health tests can injure your SEO status because the site can be flagged as 'needing improvement' and all of that business-this plugin provides granular control over which tests are relevant for your unique site. Well done!

Great tool

No More Emails about Version Control!

By Doug (desigstate) on March 23, 2020

This causes a lot of consternation sometimes when people get this email. Thanks!

pretty much needed on local environments

By faospark on May 24, 2019

there a lot of limitations on localhost. I mean one does not need to check for if loop back request is functionin or a scheduled even was missed. this plugins will deal with that predicaments on local testing environment

Must-have tool for WP 5.2+ and clients... 🙂

Thanks for making this plugin, essential tool so that clients do not get in panic!

Excellent cure for 5.2 mess for clients in Admin

By Paul Oyler (Flash McDirt) on May 8, 2019

Clients who have access to the WP Admin don't know what many of the items are in Site Health and only see the score, not knowing that there are many valid if not necessary reasons for certain settings that WP nor the client have any idea about. This handy plugin undoes the mess that 5.2 created.

Excellent plugin for developers and power users.

If you manage a website for someone who maintains administrator privileges on the site, but would be bothered by failing tests in WordPress 5.2's new Site Health dashboard, this plugin is an excellent tool. Note: you should NOT use this plugin to ignore problems on the site like woefully out-of-date PHP or other critical security issues. Instead, you should resolve the root issue. But (for example) if your server/host is unable to update to PHP 7.3 (at the time of this review, that's the recommended version) but is running 7.2... it may be useful to remove that "recommendation" from the list of checks temporarily. Another plus in the plus-column: this plugin can even remove tests that are added by third-party code.

1.1

– Fixes fatal error in WP 5.4
