Updates are only part of keeping a site healthy. An expired certificate, a domain that lapses or a PHP version without security support can take a site down just as hard as a bad plugin.

What is checked

  • SSL certificate and its expiry date.
  • Domain expiry, when the registry publishes it.
  • PHP version, and when it reaches end of support.
  • Disk space and memory limit.
  • Whether the site is online.

Offline means offline

False alarms train you to ignore alerts. Verploy only marks a site offline when the website itself stops responding, not when one heartbeat from the plugin is late.

Example of the Verploy site list (example data)
Health sits in the same list as updates and backups. (Example data.)

Healthy means nothing to do

In Verploy, a healthy site is a site where there is nothing for you to do. That is the point: your list shows what needs attention, and the rest stays quiet.
