Diagnostic Glance – A Troubleshooting Plugin for WordPress
If you’ve ever had to troubleshoot a WordPress site, you know how annoying it can be to dig around for the information you need. Diagnostic Glance makes that easier by giving you a quick, clear overview of key site details right in your dashboard.
Update Jan 01, 2026: This plugin has just be revised again completely, now version 2.0.0 with a new logo, new look and feel that aligns with the other plugins I’ve been creating. It’s basically again a whole new plugin with more robust security. Please disregard the current rating. Only two ratings have been made, and one panned it six years ago, because it didn’t work on his system. I urge you to take a look. You’ll be very pleased!
This plugin has been completely revamped. The old version worked well, but the code was outdated, so I rewrote it from the ground up. The new Diagnostic Glance is fast, lightweight, and reliable.
It shows you everything at a glance—things like WordPress version, PHP info, active plugins, and server details. You can see potential issues immediately, and it even includes a shortcode if you want to share this info with someone helping you troubleshoot a challenge on your site.
For me, it’s been a huge time saver. Instead of hunting for details, I can quickly get the full picture of a site’s health and spot problems before they turn into headaches.
Diagnostic Glance is available on the WordPress Plugin Directory. Let me know your thoughts! I hope it makes managing WordPress sites a little less stressful.
I recently got an email from my friend warning about pending doom coming from a computer virus. There’s a copy of it in the blockquote below.
