IndexLane Site Atlas
Site Atlas is a free, evidence-first WordPress plugin that maps plugin dependencies, stored data, frontend presence, and runtime activity before a redesign, migration, cleanup, or handoff.

What it reports
- Direct content dependencies such as shortcodes, blocks, builders, and forms.
- Confirmed stored-data dependencies such as registered custom post types and taxonomies.
- Possible database associations from option, metadata-key, and table naming patterns.
- Frontend presence through scripts, styles, and rendered markers.
- Runtime activity through cron, REST routes, and Action Scheduler.
- Explicit scan coverage and unresolved component ownership.
- Page, plugin, URL X-Ray, handoff, and impact reports.
Atlas verifies attribution against installed plugins, MU plugins, active themes, and exact known WordPress core objects. Naming conventions are treated as hints only, so an unknown job_listing post type does not invent a plugin named job, and a database prefix match is never presented as ownership.
Safety model
Site Atlas is an administrative diagnostic tool. It does not remove plugins or approve deactivation. A result of “No evidence in inspected coverage” is always paired with coverage counts, and partial, failed, truncated, non-HTML, and skipped requests are reported separately.
Scan data remains in the WordPress database. By default, Atlas sends no scan data or site metadata to IndexLane or another third-party service. Rendered scans request only public URLs on the same site.
