About this plugin
Website Status Checker Lite gives you a clear place to review two public websites from your WordPress dashboard or phone.
Included in Lite
- Up to two monitored websites.
- Automatic checks once a day, using WordPress scheduled tasks.
- Manual checks whenever you need them, with live progress and results appearing one website at a time.
- HTTP status, request duration and last-check time for each website.
- Email notifications for confirmed incidents and recovery, to one recipient.
- Consecutive-failure confirmation and duplicate suppression after successful notification delivery.
- Seven days of recorded check history and recent incident details.
- Guided website editing, search and pause/resume controls.
- A responsive dashboard and an administrator-only mobile home-screen shortcut.
- English and Hebrew interface options, including RTL layout.
- Email setup guidance with links, a refreshed monitor logo, and reduced-motion support.
The monitoring engine distinguishes successful HTTP responses from server errors, blocked requests and connection failures. A 404 or 500 response is not shown as a healthy website. HTTP request duration is separate from full browser page-load performance.
Pro for more frequent monitoring and client work
The separately installed Pro edition supports up to 100 websites, preset intervals and a custom whole-minute interval from 1 minute to 7 days. Pro adds client groups, required/forbidden HTML text checks, slow-response thresholds, SSL expiry warnings, maintenance windows, 90-day sample history, response-time graphs, CSV export and branded print / Save as PDF reports.
Optional Pro integrations include multiple email recipients, Telegram, Google PageSpeed, UptimeRobot and permission-based Web Push alerts on supported devices. Each integration has setup steps and official links. Device Push is a Pro feature; the mobile home-screen shortcut is included in Lite.

Scheduling and alert delivery
Daily scheduling is a target rather than a continuous uptime guarantee. WordPress cron depends on visits and hosting configuration; use a hosting cron trigger for more predictable scheduling. Checks run in bounded batches.
If the WordPress server hosting this plugin is unavailable, its own checks and alerts cannot run. Use an external monitor for that host.
Alert delivery starts disabled on a fresh installation or the initial upgrade from legacy versions. Set your recipient and review the delivery settings before enabling it. Subsequent updates preserve your delivery preference.
Manual website checks update results without sending alerts. Email delivery uses your existing WordPress mail configuration and depends on your mail provider.
Privacy and external services
Checks send HTTP requests to the public URLs you configure. URLs, results, check timing, incident details and notification preferences are stored in your WordPress database. Emails include the monitor name, URL and incident details and are delivered through your existing WordPress mail service.
The plugin does not send usage analytics to Inline Studio.
Lite does not require Telegram, Google PageSpeed, UptimeRobot or a browser Push subscription. Those optional integrations belong to Pro and require explicit setup. Links in the help guides open the relevant provider’s website only when clicked.
Configure your chosen email provider under its own terms and privacy policy.
