Tools to Monitor Your WordPress Website: Real-Time Updates, Traffic & more!

As a WordPress website owner, it's important to keep an eye on your site's activity and performance. Thankfully, there are a number of tools available to help you do just that! In this blog post, we'll discuss some of the best tools for monitoring your WordPress website in real-time.

This might not be the most pleasant topic to think about, but unfortunately, technical issues are inevitable and it's important to ensure you're prepared for when they happen. For example, if you're running a WordPress site, sometimes it can go down for reasons that you have no control over. You should keep a couple of website monitoring tools on hand so you know when any downtime occurs. However, there are a few services out there that will monitor your site's uptime and downtime, so you don't have to worry about checking manually.

There’s always a possibility that your website could go down for any number of reasons. Whether it's because of a hacker attack, a DNS issue, or some other unforeseen factor, these tools can notify you and let you step in to get things back up and running.

ManageWP Worker is a plugin for WordPress sites that syncs with the ManageWP platform. The plugin includes some of its most vital features for free, but you have to pay for the uptime monitoring feature.

How does it work?

The plugin works by installing on your WordPress site and then linking to your ManageWP account. On your account, once you’ve added your site’s URL, you can activate the uptime monitoring add-on. This costs $1 per month for each site. You can choose to use notifications by:

• Email
• Slack
• SMS

This plugin will give you a comprehensive look at your website's traffic and activity, including detailed information on page views, referring sites, search engine keywords, and more.

Jetpack is a must-have plugin for any WordPress site. It gives you a comprehensive look at your website's traffic and activity, including detailed information on page views, referring sites, search engine keywords, and more. Jetpack is an essential tool for any WordPress user who wants to keep track of their site's performance.

Another great tool for monitoring your WordPress website is Google Analytics. This free service from Google provides extensive data on website traffic and can help you track things like unique visitors, page views per visit, time spent on site, and bounce rate.

If you're looking for ways to monitor your WordPress website, Google Analytics is a great option.

By tracking this information, you can get a better sense of how your website is performing and where there may be room for improvement.

Super Monitoring is a tool for monitoring uptime. It doesn’t require any installation on your WordPress site. You just need to create an account and add your site URL, and it will show you your site’s availability, loading time, and daily health status.

The tool is configured from the same window. You can choose to receive alerts and reports via email or SMS.

There are many free uptime monitoring tools out there. Uptime Robot is one of them and I recommend it. Just like PM2U, you need to create an account before you can use the service. You’ll then be redirected to the user dashboard where you need to add your site:

• Click Add New Monitor
• Select your monitor type and details
• Enter your site’s URL
• You’ll be able to upgrade to a premium plan if you want more monitors or different features.

InternetVista is a tool for businesses to watch over their websites. They say “Uptime is money”, and it’s true for professionals. It’s not free, but you can sign up for a free trial period of 31 days.

Once you sign up, you can add your site and view its stats in a dedicated dashboard.

In the Applications tab, you can set up your preferences regarding the alerts—for example, which pages to monitor. In the Media tab you can choose how you want to be alerted: by email, SMS, Twitter, Slack, or webhook.
