Quick Actions
| Action | What it checks |
|---|---|
| Add Test Strike | Creates controlled strike activity so you can verify Strike Management, Activity Logs, the configured threshold, and clearing behavior. |
| Reset Test Data | Removes data created by the plugin’s testing workflow. It is not a substitute for Clear All Strikes when unrelated live records exist. |
| Test GA4 Event | Queues a controlled security event through the selected analytics connection. Verify it at the GA4/GTM destination. |

- Detection Mode: Standard or Cache Compatibility and its WordPress entry point.
- Development Entitlement: visible only for an authorized signed development setup.
System Health on Settings
The System Health summary reports cache-script availability, trusted proxy configuration, cleanup scheduling and last run, license connectivity, and schema version. A “Not run yet” cleanup result can be normal immediately after installation.
WordPress Site Health
Open Tools → Site Health to review runtime conditions and plugin checks. Use it when an asset is missing, scheduled cleanup is unavailable, or a hosting restriction prevents a module from operating.
Controlled live-request testing
- Use a separate browser session and a normal front-end HTML page.
- Do not test while logged in or from a whitelisted address.
- Use a clearly suspicious test browser identifier.
- Confirm one page visit produces one strike; icons, images, scripts, and styles should not add strikes.
- Clear the controlled record immediately after testing.
Diagnostic Mode is temporary. It adds troubleshooting detail and more frequent status checks. Disable it when the investigation is complete to avoid unnecessary debug-log growth.
