Overview
This plugin sends you an email notification whenever a fatal error (or other error level, configurably) is detected on your site.
Unlike traditional uptime monitoring services, which will only notify you if your entire site is down, this plugin can notify you when an error is detected on any page or process on your site.
Automatic plugin and theme updates often introduce problems that you aren’t aware of until they’re reported by your visitors. Fatal Error Notify lets you address these issues as they occur and before they cause significant problems.

You need the Pro version

Last version adds notifications for some EXIF problems. You cannot deactivate this if you don’t pay. Goodbye.

Fantastic plugin that I can’t live without
by Dale Reardon·2 years ago·1 reply
This is an amazing plugin that will save you so much time. The Pro upgrade is also really worth it and the support from the developer is some of the best I have ever experienced.
The plugin really helps you pinpoint and diagnose errors, often well before you would notice them visually on the frontend of the site.
Getting the error stack trace from the plugin also really helps you get better support from other plugin devs when their plugin has an error on your site.
Highly recommended.
Dale.
