## Description

**atec Hosting Check** gives your WordPress install a simple letter grade (A–F) 
based on what your host actually provides — no guesswork, no setup wizards.

**What it checks**

 * **Server** — CPU cores, system RAM, free disk space
 * **Versions** — WordPress (live from wordpress.org), PHP, MySQL/MariaDB
 * **Caching** — OPcache (memory, strings, max files), object cache drop-in, page
   cache drop-in
 * **WP settings** — WP_MEMORY_LIMIT, PHP memory limit, peak memory usage, WP_DEBUG,
   WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY

Each row shows the current value, recommended target, colored grade, and — when 
something needs attention — a short fix note in the recommendations box.

**Designed to stay simple**

 * No Redis ports, unix sockets, or host configuration
 * Read-only — never changes wp-config.php or php.ini
 * Grades only active cache drop-ins — not bare PHP extensions

Grading logic is adapted from the health check in [atec System Info](https://wordpress.org/plugins/atec-system-info/).
Recommended version numbers and thresholds live in one file (`includes/atec-wphc-
benchmarks.php`) for easy updates.

extensions alone are not graded.

### Can I change the recommended PHP or MySQL versions?

plugin folder.
