What is ManageWP?
In this post, we’re going to be showing you how to manage multiple WordPress websites like a pro with ManageWP.

Uptime monitor
The uptime monitor does exactly what it says on the tin. It instantly notifies you when your WordPress website goes down so you can fix it before your customers or your client notice. When a website goes down, you’re losing visitors and potential revenue, with the uptime monitor you can ensure that you’re always the first to know when your website goes down.
Sucuri security check
The Sucuri security check gives you peace of mind that your website is being scanned 24/7 for any infections, blacklists, or malware. If anything is detected on your next scan you will be notified immediately so you can rectify the issue and repair any potential hacks or threats.
Performance check
The performance check gives you a brief insight into how well your website is performing. Much like GTmetrix it gives you two scores and grades, it also gives you an outline of what needs to be improved as shown below.
Link monitor
The link monitor is an extremely powerful tool that checks all the links within posts and pages on your WordPress website. It gives you an overview of; Response codes, Link URLs, Link text, and which content on the page the broken link belongs to.
Broken links can have really negative effects on SEO and user experience which can result in a loss of revenue. Using the link monitor allows you to keep on top of broken links so you can fix them as soon as they’re picked up.
Client reports
The client report module allows you to schedule and send each client a full breakdown of the changes and updates that have been made on their website. It is the perfect way to impress clients by showing just how much work it takes to maintain a WordPress website. Best of all it can be automated to help save you time.
