It builds an on-screen report (overview table, advisor tabs) and a JSON data block you can copy. For a **more detailed report** on the BAAB site, open **https://baab.de/insights/** and paste your JSON there when you are ready (that step is optional and only happens if you copy data out of WordPress yourself). **What this version includes** * Admin page under “BAAB Insights” (capability: `manage_options`) * One-click report generation (AJAX, same-site only) with database, object cache, media, and SSL advisors * Read-only JSON export with compact formatting for large lists * English source strings with German translations (`de_DE`) * Optional activation redirect to the plugin screen (single activation only) **Privacy and external connections** * **No phoning home**: The plugin does not send analytics or telemetry to BAAB or any third party. No license pings, no usage tracking, no crash reporting. * **Your data stays on your server** unless you explicitly copy the JSON elsewhere. * **Outbound HTTP(S)** is limited to **your own site’s URLs**: optional HEAD requests to your configured home URL (HTTPS for HSTS detection, HTTP for redirect-to-HTTPS checks). This is not a call to the plugin author; it uses WordPress’s HTTP API to inspect your public responses. * For SSL details, the plugin may open a **TLS connection to your site’s host** to read the presented certificate (same host as your WordPress URL). By default, fields like certificate subject, SAN list, and full site URL are **not** included in the JSON export unless you opt in by defining `BAAB_DISABLE_SENSITIVE_OUTPUT` as `false` in code. **Optional commercial product** * The admin screen may link to a PRO offering on the author’s site. The free plugin on WordPress.org remains fully functional for analysis; the PRO product is optional. * The web app for extended analysis based on your JSON export: **https://baab.de/ insights/** ## Screenshots * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ ## Installation 1. Upload the `baab-insights` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin in the WordPress admin under “Plugins”. 3. Open “BAAB Insights” in the admin menu and use “Generate BAAB Insights Report now”. ## FAQ ### Where can I use my JSON for a more detailed BAAB Insights report? On **https://baab.de/insights/** — only after you copy the JSON from the plugin yourself. Nothing is sent automatically. ### Does the plugin send my data to the internet? No. It does not transmit your report to BAAB or any third party. The only automatic outbound requests are to **your own site** (to check HTTPS, redirects, and headers). You choose whether to copy the JSON to another system. ### Does the plugin already generate a report? Yes. After clicking the generate button, the plugin fills the overview, advisor tabs, and the JSON field. All processing happens in your installation. ### Which languages are included? English is the default. German (`de_DE`) is included in the `languages` folder. ### Can I allow more detail in the JSON (URL, cert names, etc.)? Yes, for advanced use. In `wp-config.php` or a small custom plugin, set `BAAB_DISABLE_SENSITIVE_OUTPUT` to `false` _before_ the plugin loads. The default is `true` to avoid exposing identifying details in the export. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “BAAB Insights” is open source software.
