WordPress Audit Tool

Pantheon's WP Audit Tool is a plugin that extends the WordPress site health with several additional health checks. It also provides several methods for easily accessing/exporting the data from the health checks.

Site Health Checks

This plugin provides the following new site health checks:

• Several additional PHP configuration items
• Checks for plugins with known issues on Pantheon (as per https://docs.pantheon.io/plugins-known-issues), and provides information on severity (e.g. will not work on Pantheon, not recommended but works with a workaround, or works but has some caveats and workarounds)
• Provides a list of non-standard WP DB Tables (e.g. those added by plugins or custom ones)
• Provides a list of individual DB tables sizes
• Provides a list of WP cron hooks and their schedules
• Provides a list of sys cron (if any) registered via crontab
• Provides an export of environment variables (but obfuscates sensitive ones)
• Provides a report on the number of ACF groups and fields

These new health checks are shown in the wp-admin site health page along with WordPress core's default site health checks.

WP-CLI command

This plugin provides a WP-CLI command to view/export all site health data:

NAME

wp audit

DESCRIPTION

Prints the WP Site Health/Debug Data.

SYNOPSIS

wp audit [--sections=<sections>] [--format=<table>]

OPTIONS

[--sections=<sections>] Specify which sections to display. Comma separated list of section names. Default: all sections.

[--format=<table>] Specify the format to export each section in. Options: table, json, csv, yaml. Default: table.

EXAMPLES

wp audit

wp audit --sections=wp-core,wp-paths-sizes

wp audit --sections=pantheon-problematic-plugins,db-non-core-tables --format=json

Basic Script

In addition to the WP-CLI command, this plugin provides a script that can be run when WP-CLI isn't available. This script can also be run without activating the plugin. This is handy when needing to quickly grab site health data without needing access to wp-admin or having wp-cli installed.

To run the script: drop this plugin into the plugins directory, then run the script like so:

php path/to/wp-content/plugins/wp-audit-tool/scripts/audit.php

The script will provide an output similar to WP-CLI (just with slightly less formatting niceties).
