Shadow by Christopher Ross

Shadow by Christopher Ross is a WordPress diagnostics plugin that runs entirely inside your own install. It looks over your site the way I would on a first pass: 230 checks across accessibility, performance, security, SEO, code quality, and more, each one written up in plain language with a clear next step. No account to create. Nothing uploaded anywhere. You install it, you run a scan, and you get a readable report on what's healthy and what needs attention. Why it exists, in full, is at the bottom of this page. The short of it: I needed a tool that would tell me the truth about a site without phoning home to a stranger, and the ones I tried wouldn't. So I wrote one. What's inside Shadow ships with 230 display-ready diagnostics, grouped into 11 categories so you can read the parts that matter to you and skip the rest: accessibility code quality database health design monitoring performa
