Description
Track Debug is an admin-focused WordPress diagnostics plugin built for developers, site owners, agencies, and support teams that need one clean dashboard for debugging, performance monitoring, plugin analytics, error tracking, page speed checks, memory usage analysis, REST API debugging, AJAX request monitoring, cron monitoring, WooCommerce troubleshooting, mail debugging, security checks, and uptime health monitoring.
Instead of installing multiple small utilities, Track Debug centralizes real-world WordPress debugging signals into a React-based no-refresh dashboard inside wp-admin.
Why use Track Debug?
Track Debug helps you monitor and troubleshoot:
- PHP error logs and WP debug status
- PHP error insights and repeated error groups
- slow hooks and slow SQL queries
- WordPress cron jobs, delayed schedules, and stuck events
- REST API failures, auth errors, and slow endpoints
- AJAX failures and slow admin-ajax requests
- page speed, memory usage, and request timing history
- plugin analytics, plugin size, loaded files, and runtime estimates
- duplicate post generation for quick content workflows
- plugin conflict signals and overlap warnings
- theme debug issues, template problems, WooCommerce template overrides, and theme asset weight
- database health, oversized autoload options, heavy tables, transients, and orphaned data
- 404 broken routes, referrers, redirect suggestions, and route trends
- frontend and admin asset weight including CSS, JS, duplicate assets, and render-blocking assets
- request-wise memory spikes, peak memory trend, and page-wise memory leaderboard
- security and debug exposure risks such as writable sensitive files, debug risk, XML-RPC exposure, and REST exposure
- WooCommerce debug signals like slow cart or checkout requests, failed orders, webhook issues, payment gateway issues, and session problems
- WordPress email and wp_mail diagnostics including SMTP status, failed mail attempts, error reasons, and mail override source
- uptime and site health checks including response code, response time, homepage status, availability, and SSL expiry

FAQ
-
Who can access the dashboard?
-
Only administrators or users with the
manage_optionscapability can access Track Debug. -
Does Track Debug refresh the page every time I use a tool?
-
No. The dashboard uses a React-based interface and updates data without full page refresh in normal usage.
-
Will all fetchers show data immediately?
-
Some modules, such as asset weight, memory timeline, broken routes, WooCommerce debug, and mail debug, depend on new runtime activity. Open a few pages, trigger requests, or send emails, then refresh the dashboard.
-
Can I use Track Debug on production sites?
-
Yes, but you should still use debugging responsibly. The plugin is designed for admin-only visibility and focuses on diagnostics rather than public output.
-
Does this plugin include page speed and memory tracking?
-
Yes. Track Debug includes request load time, memory usage, peak memory, asset weight analysis, and memory spike timeline insights.
-
Does this plugin support WooCommerce debugging?
-
Yes. It includes a WooCommerce Debug fetcher for slow cart or checkout requests, order failure signals, webhook errors, gateway issues, and session-related problems.
-
Does this plugin help with mail delivery issues?
-
Yes. The Mail Debug fetcher shows failed mail attempts, SMTP configuration signals, recent send logs, error reasons, and possible wp_mail override source.
-
Does this plugin monitor security risks?
-
Yes. The Security Risk fetcher highlights debug exposure signals, writable sensitive files, file editing status, XML-RPC status, and REST exposure summary.
