## Description

Check System Details puts your entire WordPress, server, and database setup on one
screen, flags real problems instead of just dumping raw facts, and gives you a few
tools for handing that information off to support or keeping an eye on the site 
over time. No setup required – install and go.

#### Health Check

A set of diagnostic checks, each marked Good, Warning, or Critical:

 * Outdated or EOL PHP versions
 * Missing PHP extensions (curl, gd/imagick, mbstring, zip, openssl, dom)
 * OPcache status
 * WP_DEBUG display risk (errors leaking publicly)
 * Disabled file editor
 * HTTPS status
 * Low memory limits
 * wp-config.php file permissions and a writable wp-content directory
 * Page caching plugin detection (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, LiteSpeed
   Cache, Cache Enabler, WP Fastest Cache, SiteGround Optimizer) and persistent 
   object cache (Redis/Memcached) detection
 * Scheduled cron events with next-run time and recurrence, plus overdue/stuck cron
   detection

#### WordPress, Server & Database, Files & Logs

Reference tabs with tooltips explaining every field:

 * WordPress core, theme, and plugin details, with pending update indicators for
   core, the active theme, and every plugin
 * Multisite network site list (ID, domain, path) when multisite is active
 * Server limits (max input vars, upload size, and more) and database connection
   details
 * Every database table name
 * Raw .htaccess, robots.txt, and debug.log (last 100 lines) content, each with 
   its own copy button

#### Utilities

 * **Test Email** – send a real test email to confirm wp_mail() actually delivers
 * **Snapshot & Compare** – save the current report, then compare it later to see
   exactly what changed
 * **Email Report** – send the report on demand, or on a recurring weekly/monthly
   schedule
 * **WP-CLI** – `wp check-system-details` prints the full report from the terminal
 * **Report Privacy** – redacts your database name/host and server file paths from
   Copy Report, Download Report, and Email Report (on by default)

#### Also included

 * Copy Report / Download Report buttons for easy support handoff
 * A Docs tab explaining every tab and utility in plain language
 * Translation-ready

#### A quick overview of the plugin
