Description
atec Hosting Check gives your WordPress install a simple letter grade (A–F) based on what your host actually provides — no guesswork, no setup wizards.
What it checks
- Server — CPU cores, system RAM, free disk space
- Versions — WordPress (live from ww.wp.xz.cn), PHP, MySQL/MariaDB
- Caching — OPcache (memory, strings, max files), object cache drop-in, page cache drop-in
- WP settings — WP_MEMORY_LIMIT, PHP memory limit, peak memory usage, WP_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY
Each row shows the current value, recommended target, colored grade, and — when something needs attention — a short fix note in the recommendations box.
Designed to stay simple
- No Redis ports, unix sockets, or host configuration
- Read-only — never changes wp-config.php or php.ini
- Grades only active cache drop-ins — not bare PHP extensions
Grading logic is adapted from the health check in atec System Info. Recommended version numbers and thresholds live in one file (includes/atec-wphc-benchmarks.php) for easy updates.
