WP Umbrella Introduces Performance Monitoring

Aurelio from WP Umbrella has just announced the release of a new performance monitoring feature, a redesigned navigation and a new bulk update interface for the WordPress management and maintenance platform.

New Features

Let’s take a look at what’s new in WP Umbrella:

• Bulk Updates: You can now update all your plugins, themes and core versions with just one click! You can even spot unavailable packages instantly. Anything pulled from the WordPress repository or tied to an expired premium licence will be flagged.
• Performance Monitoring: You can now scan all your WordPress sites for speed issues from a single dashboard. You can then use the data to sell optimisation work. The new performance monitoring view scans your entire portfolio and highlights sites that require attention. The sites are ranked by speed, are filterable and actionable. However, this isn’t just a diagnostic tool. It’s a source of revenue. When you identify a slow site, you can proactively contact the client, resolve the issue, and invoice them for the optimisation work.
• Improved Uptime Monitoring: The uptime monitor now performs two-step verification before sending any alerts. First, the system identifies a potential issue. Then, after a short delay, a second check is performed to verify that the outage is real. Only confirmed downtime triggers a notification. There is also a new monitoring node in Australia for quicker checks on sites hosted in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

In other news, WP Umbrella has redesigned the sidebar to give you faster access to your sites. Key status indicators have been moved out of the top-right corner so that disconnection issues can be seen at a glance rather than being hidden away.
