“A must-have for serious WordPress developers.” ~Jeff Starr

“A power tool for WordPress site builders and plugin/theme developers that will save a ton of time.” ~Ivan Arnaudov

“Hands down one of the best plugins for developers. Keep up the good work!” ~Abracadabra DGTL

Fantastic plugin to get most of the information needed to manage your WP site
by Ubuntu Productions·1 year ago

I really love this plugin. It collects all the critical information about my sites and tech stack and presents it in an easy and informative way. When you need it, it’s the best tool at your service.

Quick, slick, essential for techs. 5⭐
by photoMaldives·1 year ago

If you like getting under the hood of WP, this plugin is an essential install.

The layout and tabs respond quickly, bringing plentiful useful sys info and stats all to one dashboard, outperforming similar plugins. It’s clearly been expertly coded, with attention to detail.

And it’s very discrete – install and forget, without nags or distracting colors, but it’s there when you need it to troubleshoot, pulling in the latest WP/server stats.

The plugin is still being actively maintained, and support is responsive if required.

You won’t know how you lived without it! 5⭐

Perfect overview, couldn’t be better.
But only 4 stars because a few links to suggested plug-ins are outdated.
