Site Health
Your app is only as available as your WordPress site. Site Health probes the site on a schedule and shows what it found, so a slow app can be traced to a slow site rather than guessed at.
Open the Site Health tab on the canvas.
What it shows
Section titled “What it shows”Uptime. Whether the site answered, over time.
Latency. How long it took. This is the number that matters most for an app — every screen is a request, so a site that takes two seconds to answer is an app that feels broken even while it works.
Incidents. Periods where the site did not answer, with when they started and how long they lasted.
Endpoint breakdown. Latency per endpoint group, so you can see that the directory is slow while everything else is fine. Available on Pro and Unlimited.

How much history you keep
Section titled “How much history you keep”| Plan | History |
|---|---|
| Free | 1 day |
| Pro | 30 days |
| Unlimited | 90 days |
One day is enough to answer “is it slow right now”. Thirty is enough to answer “did last week’s plugin update do this”, which is the question you usually actually have.
Alerts
Section titled “Alerts”Outage alerts are a Pro feature. Without them, Site Health is something you open; with them, it tells you.
Reading latency
Section titled “Reading latency”Rough guidance for a WordPress site behind an app:
| Latency | What it means |
|---|---|
| Under 300ms | The app feels immediate |
| 300ms to 800ms | Noticeable, still fine |
| 800ms to 2s | The app feels slow on every screen |
| Over 2s | Members will assume the app is broken |
If latency is high across every endpoint, the site itself is the problem — hosting, a heavy plugin, or an overloaded database. If it is high on one group only, look at the plugin behind that group.
The Memberside Optimizer exists for the specific case of a member directory that has become slow on a large site.
When it does not work
Section titled “When it does not work”| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No data at all | The site was connected very recently | Probes run on a schedule; give it time |
| Data stops updating | Probing stopped server-side | Get in touch |
| Incidents you do not recognise | Brief outages during host maintenance | Compare against your host’s status page |
| No endpoint breakdown | It is a Pro feature | See Plans and limits |
