Proactive Site Advisor – Local, privacy-first site alerts

Descripción

Most WordPress problems stay hidden until they cost you. Proactive Site Advisor watches your site daily, compares activity to the past week, and alerts you the second something deviates from normal. Now with bot detection, you see exactly how much traffic is real vs. crawlers. Traffic crashes, bot anomalies, 404 spikes — all monitored locally, no configuration. More alert types are on the way.

When an anomaly is detected, you see:
– What changed (e.g., “Traffic dropped by 41%”)
– What this means for your site
– What you should check next
– Top 3 broken URLs (for 404 alerts)
– Top 3 bot names (for bot alerts)

Dashboard view includes: critical issues indicator, weekly digest cards, latest alerts list, and a 7‑day history table with averages.

How it works: raw visitor, bot, and 404 data is temporarily stored in WordPress transients, processed once daily, then cleared. Only summarized stats (7‑day rolling) and generated alerts are saved in two lightweight tables. No performance overhead.

Privacy & Performance

• 100% local — no data leaves your server, no external APIs
• Visitor, bot, and 404 logs are stored in WordPress transients, processed once daily, then cleared
• Only two lightweight tables keep the last 7 days of stats and generated alerts
• No cookies, no tracking across sites, GDPR‑friendly by design

All monitoring runs locally. No external APIs. No data leaves your server. The plugin does not fix anything — it alerts and recommends so you stay in control.
