Run SSH reconnaissance on your WordPress server by gathering PHP configurations, active plugins, and error logs to pinpoint environment issues. This pre-diagnostic process collects recent file modifications, HTTP status, and disk usage to identify potential bug sources before deep analysis.

Server health data collected during WordPress pre-diagnostics includes HTTP status, disk usage, and maintenance mode status. The reconnaissance also monitors recent file modifications and checks both WordPress and PHP error logs to identify obvious issues affecting site stability.

You do not need WP-CLI to perform SSH diagnostics, but it is optionally required for comprehensive data collection. Standard SSH reconnaissance works for gathering environment data, while WP-CLI enhances the depth of active plugin, theme, and PHP configuration analysis.

You can check WordPress error logs and recent file changes via SSH to identify bugs introduced by recent code modifications. The reconnaissance process actively monitors recent file activity and scans both WordPress and PHP error logs to inform subsequent diagnostic focus areas.

The best way to identify active WordPress plugins and PHP configurations remotely is through SSH pre-diagnostic reconnaissance. It gathers environment data including PHP version, configuration settings, and active themes to quickly understand the server environment before running a full site audit.

Use pre-diagnostic reconnaissance before a full WordPress site audit to optimize the diagnostic process and narrow focus areas. Gathering environment data, recent changes, and server health metrics beforehand helps pinpoint issues quickly and informs the selection of subsequent diagnostic skills.
