Self-hosted WordPress: eight WP-CLI checks for speed and safety
Eight practical checks for WordPress on your own server: verify core files, run cron properly, find autoload bloat, lock down editing, use an object cache and update with a way back.
Ten Linux server habits: disk, logs, updates, SSH and timers
Simple, repeatable checks for anyone running a Linux server: what is listening, what is filling the disk, automatic security updates, SSH keys, systemd timers and more.
Show what your monitoring has actually checked
Make the scope, age and missing evidence visible in a hosting status summary, so a reassuring label has something useful behind it.
Check the Apache configuration that is actually loaded
Before changing an Apache limit, I trace the running service to the configuration it reads. A plausible file in the right directory can still be inactive.
Check that scheduled WordPress jobs actually finish
Moving WordPress cron to a server timer can make the trigger more dependable. I still check the queue, the job’s progress and the result people see.
