Welcome to PatchWatch

PatchWatch acts as your virtual Senior Core-Contributor sitting directly inside your WordPress dashboard. Unlike traditional tools that simply list warnings, PatchWatch diagnoses database queries, server resources, and active CVE hazards, explaining them in plain English.

Key Concept: The AI Interpreter You can toggle between Raw warning statements and AI Plain English explanation anywhere in your report checklists.

Plugin Installation

Deploying PatchWatch to your self-hosted WordPress environment requires a few simple steps:

  1. Download the plugin `.zip` archive from our SaaS dashboard or search for PatchWatch inside the WordPress Plugin Directory.
  2. Navigate to your WordPress dashboard: Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
  3. Select the downloaded archive file, click Install Now, then click Activate Plugin.
  4. Navigate to the new PatchWatch tab in your sidebar dashboard and enter your license key to enable background CVE scanning and remote AI interpretations.

Telemetry Engine

The core scanner profiles your database queries, active hook latencies, memory ceilings, and stylesheet weight ratios locally. By processing this information on your server, your data remains fully secure.

Diagnostics telemetry graphs can be white-labeled inside PDF reports under our Agency licensing package.

SQL Performance Analysis

PatchWatch captures slow queries, session bloat, and transient accumulation. It provides the exact file path and code line numbers generating the latency.

SELECT wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON... LIMIT 347;
# Slow Execution: 1.28s | Rows Affected: 45,210

Vulnerability CVE Checks

By integrating with dynamic threat intelligence databases, PatchWatch checks your plugin stack, themes, and core files against known security loopholes. We proactively notify you via Slack or email when a threat is identified.

One-Click Safe Fixes

With one-click fixes, you can purge expired customer cart variables, add cache index tables, limit revision count records, and implement standard `.htaccess` security headers without code.

Backup Checkpoints

Before applying any database index modifications or automated PHP updates, our core engine creates an operational database snapshot (in transient tables) to ensure a safe fallback state is always available.

Database Rollbacks

If an applied remediation causes a layout conflict or hook discrepancy on your site, click Rollback inside the diagnostics panel to restore the checkpoint snapshot instantly.

White-Label Configurations

Under our Agency Plan, you can fully brand the plugin. Replace PatchWatch names with your agency logo, customize PDF header metadata, and disable notifications to clients.

API Keys & Integrations

Leverage our developer API keys to export JSON logs, connect external uptime trackers, or push security warnings directly into your custom CRM system.
