This Health Check & Troubleshooting tutorial shows you how to diagnose a broken or slow WordPress site without taking it offline for visitors. Using the free official plugin, you will learn to isolate a plugin conflict privately, read what Site Health is telling you, and work the debug tools. By the end you can hunt down the cause of a problem safely, while real visitors keep seeing your normal site.
What you'll learn
The classic fix for a broken site, switching plugins off one at a time, works but breaks the live site for everyone while you test. Health Check & Troubleshooting matters because its Troubleshooting Mode disables plugins for your own session only, so you can run the conflict hunt without any downtime. In this course you will learn a safe method for WordPress troubleshooting: how to isolate a plugin conflict, how to read Site Health and act on its warnings, and how to use the wider debug kit the plugin provides. You will come away able to find the source of a problem calmly instead of guessing in the dark.
