Everything you need, in one panel
Every feature is open to everyone, for free. Anything not live yet is marked "coming soon".
Maintenance & Updates
Updates carry no risk, because you see the risk before you take it.
Bulk updates
Apply plugin, theme, and WordPress core updates from a single screen, across as many sites as you want, at the same time. You trigger the update; which update was applied to which site and when is recorded automatically, so you never have to visit sites one by one.
Pre-update risk alerts
When a plugin or theme update causes a fatal PHP error on any site in your fleet, the system automatically notices and flags every other site running the same plugin or theme with a "heads up" label. That way, before rolling an update out to the rest of your fleet, you can see the problem it caused elsewhere and make an informed call on the risk.
One-click version rollback
When you spot a problem after an update, roll the plugin or theme back to its previous version with a single click. The rollback only touches the files, never your site's database or content, so you can reverse a bad update in seconds without waiting.
Version lock
Turn on version locking when you need a critical plugin or theme to stay pinned to a specific version. A locked component isn't auto-updated even when a bulk update runs, so you keep full version control for custom integrations or compatibility-sensitive plugins.
PHP error tracking and correlation
Fatal PHP errors on your sites are collected automatically and tracked as a trend over time. When a new error shows up, the system automatically correlates it with plugin, theme, or core updates made on that site in the previous 72 hours and flags the likely source. Known false positives you mark as trusted won't bother you again, without breaking the audit trail.
Scheduled automatic updates
Have plugin and theme updates applied automatically on the day and at the time you choose. Schedules run with safe update by default: a backup is taken first and the site is checked after the update. If a problem is detected on the site, the schedule pauses itself and you're notified; the result of every run is kept in the panel history.
Staging / cloning
We're building a workspace to clone a site into a separate test environment and try changes there before going live.
Backups
A backup proves its worth the moment you need to restore it.
Automatic backups
Turn on automatic backups per site, weekly or monthly, and take a manual backup any time. Every backup covers both the database and the file system and is stored on your site's own server; one backup is kept per site, and the old one is deleted once the new one completes. Restoring starts with a single click, and you can download important backups from the panel to keep a copy elsewhere.
Progress tracking
Backing up or restoring a large site can take a few minutes. The progress percentage updates live in the panel throughout, so you can see which stage you're in (collecting files, compressing, uploading) instead of staring at the screen wondering if it's still working.
Security
Even a change made directly through wp-admin doesn't slip past you.
Security / health scan
Your site is scanned automatically every day, and you can start a scan by hand any time. The scan combines a comparison against WordPress core's official checksum records, account/access security, and blacklist status into a single result.
Hardening
With one click: disable the XML-RPC interface, block username guessing through author pages, rate-limit login attempts to make brute-force attacks harder, and move the default /wp-admin login address to a custom URL of your choosing. These four measures directly target the most common automated attack types against WordPress sites.
Activity log
Alongside actions you take from the Watch Your WP panel, changes made directly on your site's own wp-admin screen (new content, a settings update, activating a plugin) are also recorded automatically. If a site gets touched from outside the panel, you can see it after the fact.
Access and user auditing
Sensitive actions like a new admin account being created on your site, an existing user's role being elevated, or a new application password being generated are automatically detected and flagged in the panel. These three actions are, in practice, the most common trace left by unauthorized access attempts.
Broken link scanning
Regularly scans your site's internal and external links, lists the ones that are unreachable or return an error, and offers direct fix actions like edit, nofollow, or remove right from the panel (Link Monitor).
Heuristic malware scanning
Our current file integrity scan only catches files that don't match official checksum records. On top of that, we're building a scan based on known malicious code patterns that can also recognize code injected into a premium plugin with no checksum, or an entirely new web-shell file.
Maintenance mode
During a design or maintenance job, close your site to visitors with one click and show a maintenance page customized with your own logo, heading, and message. Administrators keep seeing the site as usual, and search engines are told the closure is temporary (503), so your rankings aren't affected.
Monitoring
Hear about downtime from your panel, not from your customer.
Uptime monitoring
Your sites are tested every 10 minutes with a real HTTP request, not the lightweight checks of a cache or CDN layer that can be misleading; what's checked is the response a real visitor would see. You get a notification when downtime is detected, and downtime history plus total uptime percentage are reported in the panel.
SSL and domain calendar
Your SSL certificate's and domain's expiration dates are combined into a single calendar, sorted by the nearest renewal date. An expired SSL certificate shows visitors a security warning, and an expired domain makes the site fully unreachable; both show up on the calendar well before the last minute.
PageSpeed summary
Your sites' performance score is measured automatically every day, and you can check it by hand any time. Instead of visiting each site's performance page one by one, compare your whole fleet's score from a single screen.
Response time trends
Uptime monitoring only answers "is the site up or down." Response time trends show how much slower or faster your site has gotten over time. A performance regression can be caught through this trend before it turns into a full outage.
Cookie-free traffic statistics
Track your site's visitors and page views, traffic sources, and country, device and browser breakdowns from the panel, with no extra plugin or third-party service. No cookies are used, visitor data stays in your site's own database, and the panel only pulls the summary. Tracking is off by default and can be switched on or off per site in one click. You can look back up to 365 days; the selected range can be downloaded as CSV and a traffic summary is added to the client report.
Reporting & Branding
Everything your client sees carries your brand.
Branded client reports
A status summary of the sites you manage is generated automatically every month and emailed to your clients with your own logo and brand color. The report summarizes updates applied, security scans, uptime performance, and backup status, and removes manual report writing entirely.
One-click site login (SSO)
You don't need to enter a username or password to access a site's admin panel. One click from the Watch Your WP panel takes you straight to that site's wp-admin screen through a secure, one-time session link.
Advanced client reports
Download the monthly client report as a PDF, choose how often it's sent (weekly, biweekly, monthly), and add your own free-form note to the report. That gives you a concrete place to tell the client "here's the extra we did this month."
Client portal
We're building a client portal where a site owner, without their own account, can get limited, read-only access to the panel through a secure link. That lets an agency show its client the work it's doing, transparently.
Team & Tools
Manage with your team, not alone.
Multiple admins and team invites
Invite as many team members to your organization by email as you need. Every invited person logs into the panel with their own account; you decide who can access which sites, whether access is read-only, and which risky actions they can take.
Notes
Keep information you need to remember about a site or client (a special setting, a past request, an issue that was resolved) as a note in the panel with a rich text editor. Keep a note visible only to yourself, hidden from the rest of your team, if you want.
Tools: DB and cache cleanup
Transient data, spam comments, and trashed content that pile up over time bloat your database for no reason. Clean them up with one click, then flush the site's cache, without having to click around wp-admin one item at a time.
Feedback
Send us a bug, a suggestion, or a complaint you run into inside the panel directly, with a screenshot attached. Your reports are seen by our team, no need to switch to a separate support channel.
Public REST API
We're building a public API that also opens the existing Connector REST API to third-party integrations via API key, so you can build Zapier or your own automation tools on top of Watch Your WP.
AI natural-language queries
We're building a read-only query layer (MCP) where you can ask questions like "which sites have a problem" or "which updates are pending" in natural language through Claude or ChatGPT. Since the LLM subscription is your own, it won't require an extra fee.
