Shadow
Shadow is a local-first WordPress diagnostics and remediation plugin.
It runs on your server, reports what it finds, and where it can, fixes it. No account, no external service, no data leaving the site.
What ships today
Shadow groups its work into a few areas:
- Diagnostics across categories like performance, security, configuration, and content health. Each one reports a finding you can read and act on.
- Treatments that act on findings: most run automatically, the rest give you step-by-step guidance for the ones a plugin shouldn't touch on its own.
- Dashboard and findings views, plus WordPress Site Health integration so the results show up where you already look.
- File-write review, local backup, and recovery workflows for anything that changes files on disk.
- Activity logging and KPI tracking, with admin behavior that understands multisite.
- Top-level runtime wrappers and WP-CLI commands for running Shadow without the dashboard.
For current diagnostic and treatment counts, see docs/FEATURES.md — those numbers change as the registry grows and any figure hardcoded here goes stale within a release.
