Description

SiteBrief is a monitoring and reporting platform built for web agencies. This plugin connects your WordPress site to your SiteBrief dashboard so you can:

  • See WordPress and PHP version across all client sites in one place
  • Get alerts when plugins have available updates
  • Detect security issues (debug mode on, too many admins)
  • Include WordPress health data in automated client PDF reports

How it works:

  1. Install and activate the plugin
  2. Paste your Plugin Token from SiteBrief dashboard
  3. Data syncs automatically every hour

No coding required. Works in 60 seconds.

External Services

This plugin transmits data to the SiteBrief monitoring platform, a third-party service operated by the plugin author.

Service

SiteBrief (https://sitebrief.net) — a website monitoring and client reporting platform for web agencies.

What data is sent

The following data is collected from your WordPress installation and sent to sitebrief.net:

  • WordPress core version
  • PHP version
  • Site URL and admin email address
  • List of installed plugins (name, version, active status, whether an update is available)
  • Active theme name and version
  • Number of administrator user accounts (count only, no usernames or emails)
  • Whether WP_DEBUG mode is enabled
  • Filesystem method and DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT setting

No passwords, post content, comments, customer data, payment information, or personally identifiable user data is ever collected or transmitted.

When data is sent

Data is transmitted to https://sitebrief.net/api/wp-agent once per hour via WordPress cron (WP-Cron). A manual sync can also be triggered from the plugin settings page (Settings SiteBrief). Data is only sent when a Plugin Token has been saved in the settings — no data is transmitted if the plugin is not connected.

  1. Upload the sitebrief folder to /wp-content/plugins/
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Go to Settings SiteBrief and paste your Plugin Token
  4. Done — your site will appear in SiteBrief within minutes
Where do I get the Plugin Token?

Log into your SiteBrief account at sitebrief.net, open the site you want to connect, and find the “WordPress Plugin” section. Generate a token there.

What data does the plugin send?

WordPress version, PHP version, list of plugins with update status, active theme, number of admin users, and debug mode status. We never collect passwords, post content, user data, or payment information.

How often does it sync?

Every hour automatically via WordPress cron. You can also trigger a manual sync from the plugin settings page.

Does it slow down my site?

No. The sync runs in the background via WordPress cron and does not affect page load time.
