SacksonWeb Data Plugin
A tool to monitor security issues, performance issues, and Wordpress settings that should be reviewed for potential changes.
Free version – This plugin will locally collect data from the website you install it on. You can then access the settings page to see a collection of settings
that we recommend you review and consider changing.
The PRO version of this plugin leverages a third party service found at https://mm.ericandtammy.com/receiver which acts as the home collection
place for all your websites collected data. As you install SacksonWeb Data on all your websites and opt-in to activite the Pro version, then the data is not
only gathered locally, but also remotely. You will be able to log in at our main service site and view all your websites key data elements from a single location.
The terms of use are the same as for the SacksonWeb Data plugin. Visit your WordPress Menu > Settings > SacksonWeb Pro – Settings.
Data will not be remotley collected unless you update the plugins default setting to allow remote data collection. Opt-In and enable this in the SacksonWeb plugin settings to start using
this PRO feature to aggregate data from all your websites in one place. Visit your WordPress Menu > Settings > SacksonWeb Pro – Settings.
