WordPress installation, stores the latest reading, and shows the result in a focused admin screen, dashboard widget, and admin bar indicator. The plugin is designed to stay calm and read-only: it measures what is already on the site without blocking uploads, changing content, or enforcing quotas.<\/p>\n\n<h4>What Host Gauge shows<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Storage used by the WordPress installation.<\/li>\n<li>Total files found during the local scan.<\/li>\n<li>Last scan time and measured status.<\/li>\n<li>A manual scan action for fresh readings.<\/li>\n<li>Scheduled background scans for daily visibility.<\/li>\n<li>Lightweight smart updates after uploads, plugin changes, and theme changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Built for hosting visibility<\/h4>\n\n<p>Host Gauge is useful for site owners, freelancers, and hosting teams who want to understand capacity before storage or file-count limits become a problem. The dashboard keeps the numbers simple enough for daily work while still giving developers hooks for deeper workflows.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Optional Hub workflow<\/h4>\n\n<p>Host Gauge works on its own. If your team also uses Hosting Quota Control Hub, a separate companion plugin can connect sites to your Hub account for managed licenses, capacity reporting, and multi-site operations. A 30-day Hub trial is available from the service website.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Privacy<\/h3>\n\n<p>Host Gauge runs locally inside WordPress. By itself, it does not require an external account and does not send scan results to a remote service.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin stores its latest measurement in WordPress options so administrators can see the current reading. If you install and connect a separate companion plugin, that companion workflow may send site data according to its own configuration and privacy terms.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>In WordPress, go to Plugins &gt; Add New.<\/li>\n<li>Search for \"Host Gauge\", or upload the <code>hostgauge.zip<\/code> file.<\/li>\n<li>Install and activate Host Gauge.<\/li>\n<li>Open Host Gauge from the WordPress admin menu.<\/li>\n<li>Run a scan to measure current storage and file usage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"does%20host%20gauge%20require%20an%20external%20account%3F\"><h3>Does Host Gauge require an external account?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. Host Gauge runs locally and does not require an external account.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20host%20gauge%20block%20uploads%20or%20enforce%20quotas%3F\"><h3>Does Host Gauge block uploads or enforce quotas?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. Host Gauge is a read-only local meter.
