Simple DDoS Monitor

Simple DDoS Monitor is your go-to solution for keeping an eye on your websites. This lightweight plugin checks for database errors or server downtimes, providing visual status indicators and email alerts when issues arise. Designed for simplicity and efficiency, it’s perfect for WordPress administrators who need reliable monitoring without complexity.

• Automatic Monitoring: Checks your sites every minute via WP-Cron.
• Visual Dashboard: Colour-coded rows with a global health badge.
• Email Alerts: Get notified when a site’s status changes.
• Lightweight Design: Minimal server impact for maximum efficiency.

Usage

1. Go to Settings > DDoS Monitor in your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Enter the URLs of the websites you want to monitor, separated by commas.
3. Save your settings and let the plugin do the rest.

Features

• Automatic site checks every minute via WP-Cron (runs in the background — no admin page required).
• Visual dashboard with per-site status rows and a global health badge.
• Email alerts when a site’s status changes from OK to another state.
• Uses wp_remote_get for reliable HTTP requests.
• Automatic protocol handling (no need to specify http:// or https://).

Notes

• The plugin relies on wp_remote_get for site checks. Ensure your server allows outgoing HTTP requests.
• URLs do not require http:// or https:// prefixes; the plugin adds them automatically.
• Monitoring runs via WP-Cron and does not require you to have the admin page open.
