Is WP Health Inspector safe to use on live sites?
Yes — 100% read-only. Every query is SELECT, SHOW, or SHOW INDEX. The plugin never modifies your database, runs cleanup routines, or touches user data. It was designed from the ground up to be safe on live production environments — because that's where you need a diagnostic tool most.
What modules are included in every Pro plan?
All twenty: Health Score Dashboard, DB Health Inspector, Blast Radius Analyzer, Asset Inspector, Cron Inspector, Autoload Governor, Risk Indicators, Time Bomb Detector, Server & PHP Environment, Error Log Aggregation, What Changed? Timeline, Security Audit, Content Health, Core Web Vitals Estimation, Request Profiler, Root Cause Analysis, Conflict Detector, External Dependency Monitor, Performance Baselines, and Pre-Update Impact Analysis — plus a full diagnostic report export. Every plan — Starter through Agency — gets the complete suite. The only difference is the number of site activations and support level.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes — all Pro plans come with a 14-day money-back guarantee. If the plugin doesn't meet your needs within 14 days of purchase, contact support for a full refund.
What counts as a "site"?
Each unique WordPress installation counts as one site. WordPress Multisite networks count as a single site per network, regardless of how many subsites they contain.
Is the Lite version really free forever?
Yes. Lite is a permanently free plugin on WordPress.org — no trial period, no credit card, no account required. You get full access to ten core diagnostic modules: Health Score Dashboard, Error Log Viewer with Error Maps, What Changed? Timeline, DB Health Inspector, Autoload Governor, Blast Radius Analyzer, Asset Inspector, Cron Inspector, Time Bomb Detector (SSL check), and Server & PHP Environment summary. Several modules have expanded functionality in Pro.
How is this different from Query Monitor or Site Health?
Query Monitor and Site Health are development-time tools — best suited for debugging a specific request in real time. WP Health Inspector is designed for diagnosing a site's accumulated state: parsing your full error log, correlating errors with recent changes, attributing database bloat to specific plugins, surfacing overdue cron jobs, and showing you what will happen when you update a plugin. These are complementary tools, not competing ones. Many developers use both.
Which modules require a Pro license?
Eleven modules are fully Pro-exclusive: Security Audit, Content Health, Core Web Vitals Estimation, Request Profiler, Root Cause Analysis, Conflict Detector, External Dependency Monitor, Performance Baselines, Pre-Update Impact Analysis, Risk Indicators, and the full Export Report. Four additional modules — Blast Radius Analyzer, Autoload Governor, Time Bomb Detector, and Server & PHP Environment — offer partial access in Lite with full functionality in Pro.
The Risk Indicators page takes a while to load — is that normal?
Yes. The Plugin Compatibility section calls the WordPress.org API once per installed plugin. On sites with 30+ plugins, this can take 10–20 seconds due to external network latency. This is expected behavior, not a bug.
