Log HTTP Requests Plugin

Log and view all WP HTTP requests

Log and view all WP HTTP requests

How long do [core / plugin / theme] update checks take to run? What data about my site is being sent out? What about all those ajax requests? The answers to these questions are just a few clicks away.

This plugin logs all WP_HTTP requests and displays them in a table listing for easy viewing. It also stores the runtime of each HTTP request.

Available Hooks

Customize the length (in days) before older log items are removed:

 add_filter( 'lhr_expiration_days', function( $days ) { return 7; // default = 1 }); 

Don’t log items from a specific hostname:

 add_filter( 'lhr_log_data', function( $data ) { if ( false !== strpos( $data['url'], 'wordpress.org' ) ) { return false; } return $data; }); 

In the above example, the $data array keys correspond to columns within the lhr_log database table.
