Features

Telemetry Dashboard

Opt-in telemetry from Ultimate Multisite installations. Tracks PHP/WP/plugin versions, network types, active addons, and error reports.

Site Discovery (Network Health)

Background scraper that discovers network health signals from domains found via passive install tracking. Runs daily via WP-Cron and processes up to 20 domains per batch.

What it detects:

• Whether the site is live (HTTP 2xx)
• Whether it is a production domain (not staging/dev/local)
• SSL/HTTPS availability
• Presence of a checkout or registration page (UM shortcodes/blocks)
• Estimated subsite count (subdirectory path probing + HTML signals)
• Network type: subdomain vs subdirectory
• Ultimate Multisite version (from asset URLs or meta tags)

Health score (0–100):

Privacy and ethics:

• Only scrapes publicly accessible pages (homepage, /register/)
• Respects robots.txt — skips sites that disallow UltimateMultisiteBot
• User-Agent: UltimateMultisiteBot/1.0 (+https://ultimatemultisite.com/bot)
• 10-second timeout per request; unresponsive sites are marked failed and retried next run
• Stores only aggregate signals, not page content

Dashboard answers:

• How many production networks have 10+ subsites?
• How many networks have a checkout page (are selling to customers)?
• Distribution of health scores across all discovered domains
