    I like this plugin a lot and I’m not sure how it’s not part of core WordPress – the ability to troubleshoot a live site without affecting user experience is extremely valuable. I leave it installed and active on all my development/testing sites while only installing it as necessary on production sites and then removing it when troubleshooting is finished.

    I’ve seen a lot of reviews here stating that troubleshooting mode broke the website – I did have an issue once where I enabled troubleshooting mode on a caching plugin – this would be expected behavior for a plugin like this especially if one uses a caching plugin that modifies .htaccess since troubleshooting mode would not undo that change.

    this plugin IS part of the core, and apparently cannot be deactivated from anywhere

    @arsenalemusica Tools > Site Health is indeed part of core and cannot be deactivated, but this is an entirely separate plugin which extends Tools > Site Health and can be installed, activated, deactivated, and deleted.

    thanks for clarifying that…. they are real clones, though 🙂

    They definitely are not, Health Check adds several features to Tools > Site Health, including a full troubleshooting mode.
