A WordPress diagnostics plugin that explains every result
Read-only checks across your whole stack. Each one tells you what it found, why it matters and what to do next.
Standard diagnostics never use an AI provider. DiveWP recommends; it doesn't silently change your site.
Server configuration
PHP and database versions, memory, execution time, upload limits and PHP extensions, with plain-language recommendations.
Performance & speed
Page caching, CSS/JS minification, deferred JavaScript, image optimisation, lazy loading and persistent object cache.
Database health
Size, table overhead, revisions, spam comments, expired transients and non-core tables. Cleanup is recommended, never run for you.
Security & best practices
HTTPS, file permissions, the default admin username, database prefix, file editor and debug mode. Configuration checks, not a malware scanner.
SEO configuration audit
SEO plugin, homepage meta description, XML sitemap, robots.txt, permalinks and search visibility. Clear gaps, no ranking promises.
WooCommerce optimization
Cart fragments, session handling, old order volume and product revisions, when WooCommerce is active. Store data is never changed.
Email system monitor
SMTP plugins, email-authentication indicators and wp_mail() checks, a test send, and a log of sent and failed messages.
Theme & builder analysis
Theme version, child theme, translation readiness, inactive themes and page builders, without touching your design.
New in 3.0
Ask DiveWP AI Agent what's going on with your site
An opt-in chat in wp-admin that answers site-health questions from DiveWP's own diagnostics and the screen you're on. No separate scan to run first.
- Type @ to pick a plugin, theme, update or log as evidence
- Searchable history, export, retention controls and Read Aloud
- Optional site-health email report, every 30 days by default
- Step 1
Mention what needs work
Name the exact plugin, theme or update with @, then ask for the change in plain words.
- Step 2
Approve it with one click
Approval mode is the default. Updates show live progress for every item.
- Step 3
DiveWP verifies the result
Permissions and current state are rechecked, the outcome is verified, and the action is logged.
Requirements. AI chat needs WordPress 7.0+, the WordPress AI Client and a provider in Settings > Connectors (provider terms and charges apply). Every other tool works on WordPress 6.0+.
- Monitoring & maintenance
WordPress performance monitoring and maintenance in one place
Beyond the checks, DiveWP gives you the tools to act: update and roll back plugins, read your logs and keep scheduled tasks healthy.
Plugin management without the guesswork
Search and filter installed plugins by active, inactive or update status. Read WordPress.org descriptions, changelogs, ratings and reviews before you act.
- Activate, deactivate and update in one view
- Update from AI Agent chat with live progress

WordPress.org review
What a great plugin. Peace in mind. Fast understanding and view of every missing actions on a website. Really practical when you begin on a website made by others before you take it in charge.

Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? Read the docs or get in touch.
Do I need technical knowledge?
Not at all. DiveWP explains everything in plain English and guides you through each step.
Will this modify my site settings?
Diagnostics are read-only. DiveWP changes your site only when you ask: plugin activation, updates and rollback in Plugins Management, or plugin and theme updates from AI Agent chat. Approval mode is the default, and each change is permission-checked, verified and logged.
Is WooCommerce required?
No. WooCommerce checks and log sources appear only when WooCommerce is active.
Will this plugin slow down my site?
Most analysis runs in wp-admin. Activity, email and cron monitoring, log retention and optional AI features use WordPress hooks only when they are active.
Does the AI Agent work without an AI connector?
No. Configure a compatible text-generation provider under Settings > Connectors. Provider terms and charges apply. All non-AI tools keep working without one.
What happens on an older WordPress version?
Standard tools support WordPress 6.0+. On versions before 7.0, the AI Agent shows an update guide instead of chat.
Is DiveWP a caching, security, backup or SEO plugin?
No. DiveWP explains the configuration it detects. It doesn't replace caching, malware scanning, firewall, backup, SMTP delivery or full SEO tools.
