[FREE] I built a free WordPress plugin that shows your whole server's health (CPU, RAM, disk, SSL, DNS) right inside wp-admin — no Grafana, no SaaS
I run a few self-hosted WordPress sites on VPS boxes (DigitalOcean/Hetzner),
and I got tired of SSHing in just to check if the server was fine, or paying
for a SaaS dashboard just to watch CPU and disk.
So I built BloomWatcher. It turns wp-admin into a live status dashboard for
the *whole stack*, not just WordPress:
- CPU / RAM / disk / network, live-updating gauges
- PHP version, OPcache, MySQL status, web server (nginx/Apache/LiteSpeed)
- SSL cert days-until-expiry, DNS "does this domain actually point here?" check
- Autoload analysis (find the options bloating every request)
- A scored 0–100 health diagnosis with an A–D grade and prioritized fixes
It's genuinely free for a single site — the whole monitoring dashboard and
diagnosis, no crippled features. Metrics are read locally and only shown to
logged-in admins; nothing about your server leaves the site.
Full disclosure: I'm the developer. There's a paid Pro tier (alerts, history
graphs, plugin performance profiling) but the free version is what I actually
use day-to-day and it stands on its own.
Just went live on the WordPress.org repo today. Would love feedback from
anyone else running self-hosted WP — especially what's missing.
