BUILT NOT BEGGED
Server Stats Built Not Begged: WordPress Activity, Traffic, and Server Health in One Private Dashboard
Running a WordPress site means answering three basic questions over and over. What work got done on the site? How much traffic is it getting? Is the server healthy?
Too often those answers live in three different places, if you can find them at all. You end up clicking around, guessing, or only finding out something was wrong after it already cost you.
Server Stats Built Not Begged was built to put those answers in one place.
What it does
Server Stats shows WordPress work activity, traffic, and server health in one private dashboard. Private is the key word. This is a dashboard for you, the person running the site, not a public page for the whole internet to look at.
It also provides read-only JSON for authorized tools. Read-only means those tools can look at the data without changing anything. Authorized means only the tools you allow get that access. You can let your own tools read the numbers while the dashboard itself stays private.
That combination is the whole idea. A human gets a clear dashboard to read. Your tools get clean data they can pull. Neither one needs the run of your site to do it.
Who it is for
This is for WordPress site owners and builders who run their own sites and want to know what is actually going on with them. If you manage a site and you are tired of hunting for basic answers about activity, traffic, and health, this was built for you.
It is also a fit if you use your own tools to keep an eye on your sites. The read-only JSON gives those authorized tools something solid to work from.
