How does Version 8.0 prevent update crashes?

Before updating any plugin, theme, or WordPress core, Update Guard scans for PHP/WP floor mismatches, changelog breaking change keywords, and developer abandonment. After you update, it automatically verifies loopback response, error logs, and cron integrity.

How does Troubleshooting Mode work without taking my live site down?

Unlike standard troubleshooting plugins that put the entire site into maintenance or switch the live theme for everyone, phpinfo() WP isolates the debug session to your specific admin login. Visitors and customers continue browsing your live store uninterrupted.

Will the deep scanning slow down my server?

No. All scans run exclusively on-demand inside the admin dashboard with intelligent caching (transients + in-memory memoization) and async AJAX execution. Front-end page loads have 0.00ms overhead.

Is there a free version?

Yes. The free version on WordPress.org includes the phpinfo viewer, .htaccess editor, extension list, activity log, PHP EOL Timeline, Troubleshooting Mode, PHP Compatibility Scanner, and a Config Grader summary. Pro adds the depth, one-click auto-fixes, SSL/headers monitors, and the white-label PDF audit reports.

How is this different from WP Umbrella or ManageWP?

Those are external SaaS dashboards for monitoring many sites at once. phpinfo() WP Pro is an in-admin plugin that lives on the site itself - no external account, no per-site monthly fee, no remote agent. Pick this if you want depth on each individual site and a portable PDF report.

Does the Pro license phone home?

Once per week, the plugin pings our server with your license key and site URL to confirm the key is still valid. Nothing else is sent. No analytics, no site contents. If our server is unreachable, the plugin keeps working for 14 days, then asks you to re-activate.

What happens after my year is up?

You keep the version you have, with all features unlocked. You stop getting updates and support unless you renew. We email a renewal reminder 14 days before expiry. Lifetime owners never expire.

Can I move my license between sites?

Yes. Deactivate on the old site (one click) and activate on the new one. The Single Site license can be re-assigned freely. Unlimited and Lifetime work on as many sites as you want, simultaneously.

14 days, no questions asked. Email support@phpinfowp.com with your order number and we will refund within 1-2 business days.

WordPress 5.9+ and PHP 8.0+ (PHP 8.2 or newer recommended). PHP 7.4 reached end-of-life in November 2022 and is no longer supported. Some hosts disable certain PHP functions used by the plugin - if a feature shows as unavailable, contact your host.

Here is why business owners, agency founders, and freelancers rely on phpinfo() WP every day.

4.5 / 5• WordPress.org Verified Rating

Single Site Pro

“Instantly showed us what was bottlenecking PHP.”

“Installed the plugin and ran the server health audit in under a minute. The Config Grader pinpointed our exact memory limits and timeout thresholds right before our client's busy season.”

Alex RiversFull-Stack WP Developer · Apex Digital

Unlimited License

“Helps troubleshoot compatibility issues in seconds.”

“Clean and straight to the point. Gives me an instant look at OPcache, active PHP modules, and database query buffers across multiple client staging sites without digging through server control panels.”

Marcus VanceLead WP Engineer · Vance Interactive

“The PDF audit reports stopped clients questioning our retainers.”

“We manage 35+ client sites on VPS. Every month we attach the white-label PDF audit to the maintenance invoice. Clients see the green health score and PHP memory breakdown. It completely stopped the 'why are we paying monthly maintenance?' emails.”

Dave MillerAgency Director · Northline Studio

“Found why our checkout was throwing 504 timeouts.”

“A client's store was randomly timing out during checkout spikes. Hosting support blamed WooCommerce, WooCommerce logs blamed the server. Ran phpinfo() WP and saw max_execution_time was stuck at 30s and OPcache was 98% full. Adjusted it in 2 minutes, problem solved.”

Bastian LindnerWooCommerce Dev · Kite & Code

Single Site Pro

“No more fear when upgrading PHP versions.”

“Upgrading client sites from PHP 8.1 to 8.3 used to give me anxiety because you never know which old plugin will throw a fatal error. The compatibility pre-flight flagged two deprecated functions in an old slider plugin before I touched the live server.”

Sarah JenkinsFreelance Site Builder · SJ Creative

“Finally stopped creating disposable info.php files.”

“Used to FTP a phpinfo.php file into root whenever I needed to check OPcache or MySQL socket paths, and constantly worried about leaving it exposed. Having this securely inside wp-admin with admin-only capability check is just common sense.”

Common questions

What if it doesn't work with my host or setup?+

14 days, 100% money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Email support@phpinfowp.com with your purchase email or license key, and we will issue a full refund via Stripe within 1-2 business days. phpinfo() WP runs smoothly across all major managed WordPress hosts (WP Engine, Kinsta, SiteGround, Cloudways, Hostinger) with zero shell access required.

Will this slow down my live WooCommerce store?+

No. All scans execute exclusively on-demand inside your WordPress admin via async AJAX with intelligent transient caching. Front-end page loads have 0.00ms overhead - your visitors and checkout flows are completely unaffected.

Why should I buy Pro if there is a free version on WP.org?+

The free version diagnoses problems; Pro fixes them. Pro unlocks 1-click directive fixes, the proactive PHP 8.4 pre-flight sniffer, live OPcache hit telemetry, database autoload and missing index scanning, and white-label client PDF audit reports.

I only manage one site. Is $39 worth it for me?+

A single 504 gateway timeout or fatal PHP crash costs far more in lost sales and stress than $39. If phpinfo() WP saves you one emergency support ticket or 30 minutes with a $150/hr sysadmin, it has already paid for itself 3x over.
