Simple System Status

Description

“Simple System Status” does exactly what it says on the box – shows you, very simply, your systems status for your WordPress Setup.

Simple System Status adds a submenu item under the ‘tools’ section of your WordPress installation.

What others are saying

This is a brilliant plugin for getting all the relevant info out of your system. The built-in remote viewing option for letting other people securely access your system status is incredibly helpful for remote debugging. Nice work 🙂
