WordSocket is the official WordPress plugin for WPSignal (wpsignal.io), a third-party WebSocket/SSE delivery service.
As of April 2026, WordSocket is a WordPress push plugin with 0 active installations and a 5/5 rating from 1 reviews. It has been downloaded 103 times in total. Requires WordPress 6.2+ and PHP 7.4+. Available on WordPress.org since 2026. Actively maintained — updated within the last month. Top alternative: PuSHPress.
WordSocket sends realtime events from your WordPress site to connected browsers.
When content changes: a post is published, a comment is approved, an option is updated: the plugin pushes the event to subscribers instantly via WebSocket (with SSE fallback).
On WordPress 7.0+, WordSocket also registers as a WebSocket-based Yjs sync provider for real-time collaborative editing in the block editor, replacing the default HTTP polling transport with a low-latency WebSocket connection.
WPSignal is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the WordPress project.
