System
The System module provides a real-time snapshot of your WordPress environment — built for fast diagnostics, audits, and agency workflows.
No setup required
Local-only — reads data on your server
Read-only — does not change site configuration
Overview
System is available by default. It reads your WordPress environment locally and shows a single-page snapshot when you open All DashAI → System Health.
System dashboard overview: one place to scan versions, security signals, plugins, and server context.
Agency tip: Use System as the first step in any support or maintenance workflow.
What System shows
- WordPress & core — Version, update status, site and home URL, environment (production/staging/local), permalinks, REST API, multisite sites.
- PHP & database — PHP version and configuration, MySQL/database version, memory limits, server software.
- Active theme — Current theme name and version, parent theme (if any).
- Plugins — Installed and active plugins with version and update status. Copy WP-CLI update commands for plugins and core.
- Post types, ACF blocks, forms — Registered post types (with counts), ACF blocks when ACF is active, and forms from Gravity Forms or Contact Form 7 when present.
- Users — User counts and role breakdown.
- Server — Server environment, PHP extensions, cache detection (e.g. W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket), disk space, and site configuration basics.
- Security — HTTPS/SSL status, debug settings, file edit/mod restrictions, security keys, and related checks.
- Performance & AI — Memory limits, disk space, and optimization-related settings; AI-powered system health analysis with recommendations when AI is enabled.
How it works
- Uses native WordPress and PHP APIs
- Reads data locally — no external requests for the snapshot itself
- Refreshes when you reload the page
- Does not modify site configuration
When to use
- Before updating WordPress or plugins
- During debugging sessions
- For client audits and onboarding
- Before handing over projects
Best practices
- Check System before running bulk updates
- Combine with Logs for full diagnostics
- Keep PHP and WordPress on supported versions
Troubleshooting
- Missing or empty values — Reload the page; confirm you are an administrator; on multisite, check you are in the expected site context.
- SSL or environment looks wrong — Review proxy/CDN termination and Settings → General WordPress Address / Site Address (URL); confirm HTTPS is consistent end-to-end.
