Monitoring Overview
Updated 2 July 2026
BugShield monitoring checks your WordPress site around the clock and alerts you when something goes wrong: downtime, slow response times, or SSL issues.
This article explains what BugShield monitoring covers, what signals are tracked, and which plans include monitoring.
What we monitor
- HTTP uptime and response codes
- Response time trends
- SSL certificate expiry
- Core WordPress health signals (plan dependent)
Who gets monitoring
Monitoring is included on Shield Light and Shield Pro plans. One-off fix customers can upgrade to a maintenance plan to enable it.
