Title: Keepwatch – Site Health & Uptime Monitor Author: wpxlab Published: October 21, 2026 Last modified: October 22, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/keepwatch/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=3759102) ![](https://ps.w.org/keepwatch/assets/icon.svg?rev=3759102) # Keepwatch – Site Health & Uptime Monitor By [wpxlab](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wpxlab/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/keepwatch.0.6.1.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/keepwatch/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/keepwatch/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/keepwatch/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/keepwatch/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/keepwatch/) ## Description Keepwatch shows the health of your site in one place: outdated plugins and themes, PHP fatal errors, WordPress Site Health results, scheduled task (WP-Cron) problems, database and environment warnings. If WooCommerce is active, store-specific checks( template overrides, failed or stuck scheduled actions, HPOS sync) are added automatically. WooCommerce is not required. Everything runs on your own site. Keepwatch does not need an account and sends nothing off-site by default. Connecting to the optional WPXLab cloud (outside uptime checks, history, multi-site overview) is opt-in and requires your explicit consent; see External services. #### Features * Local dashboard under Tools Keepwatch (no account required) * WordPress Dashboard widget with open issues at a glance * PHP fatal error capture with redacted paths and secrets * Change log of plugin, theme and WordPress updates; a fatal error that starts soon after an update is marked as a possible link * Core, plugin and theme update status * WordPress Site Health critical and recommended counts * WP-Cron overdue task detection (including DISABLE_WP_CRON sites) * “Discourage search engines” visibility warning * Environment checks: PHP support, HTTPS, debug display, memory limit, file editor * Database checks: autoload size, expired transients, approximate DB size * Server checks: disk space, OPcache, persistent object cache * Security signals: new administrators, role grants, plugin activate/deactivate * Inventory strip: WordPress/PHP/MySQL/WooCommerce/theme/plugin counts * Backup monitoring: is a backup plugin active and how old is the last completed backup * Optional WooCommerce module: failed and stuck Action Scheduler jobs, outdated template overrides, HPOS sync * Optional weekly summary and critical-issue emails via your site’s `wp_mail` ( off by default) * Translation-ready: every string can be translated on translate.wordpress.org ### External services Keepwatch works fully without any external service. All checks run on your site. **Optional: WPXLab cloud (wpxlab.com).** Nothing is sent unless an administrator pastes a connection code under Tools Keepwatch WPXLab cloud and accepts the consent screen. When connecting, Keepwatch sends the site address, an anonymous installation id, a public key and the WordPress, PHP and Keepwatch versions to https://wpxlab. com/api/v1/keepwatch/enrollments. WPXLab then calls `/wp-json/keepwatch/v1/verify` on your site once to confirm the address; the endpoint only answers during your own connect request. After that, Keepwatch sends a report hourly through WP-Cron( never during page loads) to `https://wpxlab.com/api/v1/keepwatch/reports`: the id, status and short headline of each check, plus WordPress, PHP, Keepwatch and WooCommerce versions. If WooCommerce is active, the report also contains the number of placed orders and failed payments per hour for the last 7 days (totals only), used for “ orders stopped” and “failed payments spiking” alerts. It also contains the public addresses of the shop, cart, checkout and newest product page, which the cloud opens from outside to check that they work. The report also lists the plugin, theme and WordPress changes of the last 7 days (name, slug and version numbers) and, for PHP fatal errors, only a fingerprint, the plugin or theme they came from and when they started; error messages and file paths stay on your site. Check descriptions, user names, file paths, e-mail and IP addresses are not sent; WooCommerce data never includes customer data. Reports are kept for your plan’s history period and then deleted. Only if an administrator also allows it (on the same screen, or later with“ Allow sending”), the report includes the installed plugins and themes (name, slug, version, active, available update) and four site metrics (PHP memory limit, size of autoloaded options, database size, number of overdue scheduled tasks). After a report, Keepwatch may fetch its settings from `https://wpxlab.com/api/v1/keepwatch/ config`: only how often to report and which of the optional data above to include. The settings are signed by WPXLab and applied only if the signature checks out; WPXLab cannot run code, change files or read your database through this. Disconnecting is one click and stops all sending immediately. * Service: WPXLab, https://wpxlab.com * Terms of service: https://wpxlab.com/terms * Privacy policy: https://wpxlab.com/privacy Optional email alerts use your WordPress site’s normal mail configuration (`wp_mail`). That mail may be delivered by whatever SMTP or hosting mail setup you already use; Keepwatch does not call a third-party API for those emails. ### Privacy Keepwatch stores data in your WordPress database (for example: recorded PHP fatal errors with redacted paths, optional security-event notes, and your alert settings). Nothing is transmitted to WPXLab or any other third party unless you connect the optional WPXLab cloud (see External services). Uninstalling Keepwatch removes the options it created. ### Development Source code ships inside the plugin zip (PHP and CSS only; no minified or obfuscated assets). There is no remote update channel and no build step required to run the plugin. ## Screenshots [⌊Tools → Keepwatch overview: health score, items that need attention and site facts.⌉⌊ Tools → Keepwatch overview: health score, items that need attention and site facts .⌉[ Tools Keepwatch overview: health score, items that need attention and site facts.

No. Keepwatch is a general WordPress health plugin. When WooCommerce is active, extra store checks turn on automatically. ### Does it send data anywhere? No. Checks and the fatal error list stay on your site. The optional weekly or critical- issue emails are sent only with WordPress `wp_mail` through your own site’s mail configuration, and only if you turn them on. ### Will features be locked behind a license? No. Everything in this plugin runs locally and stays free. ### How do I clear recorded PHP errors? Open Tools Keepwatch PHP errors and use “Clear error list”. ### Which languages are available? Keepwatch is written in English and is fully translatable. Translations are contributed on translate.wordpress.org and WordPress installs them automatically for your site language. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Keepwatch – Site Health & Uptime Monitor” is open source software.

Deactivating never deletes anything. * Health score ring is drawn with SVG instead of an inline style; stylesheet gets a table of contents and section markers. #### 0.6.0 * WPXLab cloud: connection handling tidied up. No change in what is sent or when. #### 0.5.0 * WPXLab cloud: report frequency and optional data can be set from the WPXLab dashboard. Settings arrive signed and only a fixed list of settings is accepted. * WPXLab cloud (optional, needs a separate “Allow sending”): installed plugins/ themes with available updates and four site metrics, so updates can be tracked across sites. * WooCommerce: new checks for webhooks that WooCommerce switched off after repeated delivery failures, and for products out of stock or running low (counts only). #### 0.4.1 * Translations are now delivered by translate.wordpress.org language packs; the plugin no longer bundles or loads its own language files. #### 0.4.0 * New: change log. Plugin, theme and WordPress updates, installs, activations and theme switches are recorded locally (also updates made by FTP or WP-CLI, found on the next hourly comparison). * New: a PHP fatal error that starts within 24 hours after the same plugin or theme changed, or within 60 minutes after any change, is marked as a possible link on Tools Keepwatch Errors. * Cloud: the report includes the last 7 days of changes and the source and start time of fatal errors (no messages or paths), for “error after update” alerts. #### 0.3.1 * New: with WooCommerce and a cloud connection, the public shop, cart, checkout and newest product page addresses are added to the report so the WPXLab cloud can check from outside that the buying path works. #### 0.3.0 * New: backup monitoring. Detects UpdraftPlus, BackWPup, WPvivid, All-in-One WP Migration, Duplicator, Jetpack VaultPress Backup and BlogVault and warns when the last completed backup is older than 7 days (critical after 30). Keepwatch does not take backups itself. * New: with WooCommerce and a cloud connection, hourly order and failed-payment totals (counts only) are added to the report so the WPXLab cloud can alert you when orders stop or failed payments spike. #### 0.2.0 * New: optional connection to the WPXLab cloud with an explicit consent screen and one-click disconnect. * New: redesigned admin screen with tabs (Overview, Checks, PHP errors, Notifications, WPXLab cloud), a health score and status filters. * New: hourly check summaries to the connected cloud through WP-Cron with retry and backoff (only after consent). * Fix: fewer false security alerts, cached database size measurement and more reliable email scheduling. * Fix: a PHP TypeError on admin pages caused by the settings sync hook receiving an empty argument. * Uninstall and deactivation also remove the cloud connection options and scheduled report events. #### 0.1.0 * Local health checks, fatal error capture, dashboard and admin widget. * Database, server and security checks; inventory strip. * Optional WooCommerce checks (Action Scheduler, template overrides, HPOS sync). * Optional weekly and critical-issue email digests via wp_mail. * Translations: tr_TR, ru_RU, fr_FR, it_IT. ## Meta * Version **0.6.1** * Last updated **2 days ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.4 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.3** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Languages * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/keepwatch/) and [Turkish](https://tr.wordpress.org/plugins/keepwatch/). * [Translate into your language](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/keepwatch) * Tags * [error log](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/error-log/)[monitoring](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/monitoring/) [site health](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/site-health/)[updates](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/updates/) [woocommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/woocommerce/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/keepwatch/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
