The wizard walks you through: 1. Enabling monitoring modules (activity log, broken link scanning, admin bar widget) 2. Optionally installing the MaxMind GeoLite2 database for IP geolocation 3. Activating a Pro licence if you have one Once complete you will land on the **Dashboard** — your central view of site health. [Back to top](#table-of-contents) --- ## Dashboard The dashboard gives you a quick overview across all modules. **Hero pills** at the top show at-a-glance counts for published content, broken links, users, and pending plugin updates. Each pill is colour-coded — green means all clear, amber means attention needed, red means action required. **The card grid** shows a summary from each module: System, Database, Activity Log, Broken Links, Content, Media, Users, Performance, and Plugins. Each card has a direct link to its full page. [Back to top](#table-of-contents) --- ## Activity Log Aegra Site Monitor logs admin activity automatically once the module is enabled in Settings. **What is logged:** - Admin logins and logouts - Plugin and theme installs, activations, deactivations, and deletions - User role changes - Password resets - Post publish, update, and delete actions **Reading the log:** Sessions are shown in an accordion — click a session row to expand and see individual actions. The filter bar lets you search by user or action type. **Clearing the log:** Use the **Clear Log** button in the sidebar. This permanently removes all stored entries. > Pro: Full audit trail with deeper action tracking, IP history, and suspicious activity detection. [Back to top](#table-of-contents) --- ## Broken Links Aegra Site Monitor can scan your site for broken links in post and page content. **Running a scan:** Click **Start Scan** on the Broken Links page. The scanner works in batches — a progress bar shows how far through the scan it is. Large sites may take a few minutes. **Results:** Each link shows its status code, the post it was found in, and the last time it was checked. Broken links are highlighted in red. **Rechecking a link:** Click **Recheck** on any row to re-test a single link without running a full scan. > Pro: Scheduled automatic scans, external link checking, and scan reports by email. [Back to top](#table-of-contents) --- ## Content Audit The Content Audit page gives you a snapshot of your site's content structure. **What it shows:** - Published and draft counts by post type - Pages with missing featured images - Posts without categories or tags - Old drafts (unpublished for more than 90 days) - Front page and blog page status - Permalink structure > Pro: Orphaned content detection, SEO structure checks, content freshness tracking, and full broken link scanning across internal and external links. [Back to top](#table-of-contents) --- ## Database The Database page shows the current state of your WordPress database. **Overview tab:** - Total database size - Table count and sizes - Autoloaded options size - Transient count **Health tab:** Flags common database issues — post revisions, trashed content, spam comments, collation mismatches, and failed upgrade markers. **Options and Transients tab:** Lists the largest autoloaded options and expired transients that could be cleaned up. > Pro: Snapshot comparison, slow query monitor, scheduled health scans, and growth tracking over time. [Back to top](#table-of-contents) --- ## Media The Media page audits your media library. **Overview:** Total media count, file type breakdown, and unattached file count. **Alt Text:** Lists images missing alt text — important for accessibility and SEO. **Large Files:** Lists media files above a configurable size threshold. **File Health:** Checks for missing files on disk, broken attachment metadata, and duplicate filenames. > Pro: Full unused media detection, duplicate detection by hash, and media growth tracking. [Back to top](#table-of-contents) --- ## Traffic The Traffic page shows visitor data collected by Aegra Site Monitor's lightweight tracker. **Overview tab:** Daily page views chart, top pages, and top referrers. **Audience tab:** Device types, browsers, and countries. Country data requires the MaxMind GeoLite2 database — see Settings to install it. **404s tab:** Recent 404 hits — useful for finding broken internal links or misconfigured redirects. > Pro: Session tracking, UTM campaign attribution, live visitor view, and traffic trend analysis. [Back to top](#table-of-contents) --- ## Users The Users page lists all registered users with their roles and last login time (sourced from the activity log). Stat cards at the top show a breakdown of users by role. The full table is searchable and sortable.
