Find maintenance risk before it becomes security risk

Software Health does not only ask whether a plugin or theme is currently working. It helps identify components that may become risky because they are no longer maintained, have not received updates, or cannot be confidently verified.

Plugin Health

What it means: Plugin results help reveal outdated, abandoned, unknown, or suspiciously maintained software.

How to use it: Use this during audits and handoffs to decide what should be updated, replaced, or documented.

Theme Health

What it means: Theme review helps identify inactive or outdated themes that still live on the server and may need attention.

How to use it: Remove unused themes when safe, keep the active theme updated, and document intentional exceptions.

Maintenance Decisions

What it means: Some older software is required for compatibility, but it should not be ignored without context.

How to use it: Record why old software must remain and revisit it during future maintenance cycles.

Cleanup Planning

What it means: Software Health gives technicians a prioritized list before stronger protections or lock settings are enabled.

How to use it: Use the report to clean up unnecessary components before locking down the site.

Important: A plugin or theme can still function while creating maintenance risk. Review exceptions intentionally.
