## Description
** This plugin is inpired from the work of log-http-requests plugin **
Monitor all the HTTP Request being made via WP HTTP Methods i.e. wp_remote_get,
wp_remote_post Block any request by just a click of button.
Track how much time
a request like updating core/plugin/theme taking (may be useful for bandwidth consumption
analysis),
This plugin logs all WP_HTTP requests and displays them in a table listing for easy
viewing. It also stores the runtime of each HTTP request.
If you add a base-url manually, e.g. https://api.woocommerce.com, there will be
no more entries stored for that host.
#### Available Hooks
Add the following to wp-config.php for default blocking:
```
define( 'inspect_http_requests_default_block', true );
```
To prevent database littering and performance drain due to sql lookups you can ignore(
parts of) hostnames:
(without this, your own site and wordpress.org are ignored)
```
define( 'inspect_http_requests_ignored_urls', [
'your own site',
'wordpress.org',
'api.woocommerce.com',
'wp-rocket.me',
'ip-api.com',
'ipinfo.io',
'api',
]);
```

### [Really useful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/really-useful-325/)
[Farzad](https://profiles.wordpress.org/farzadjozaghi/) August 20, 2025 2 replies
The plugin is so useful and i loved it. But there is some bugs and I think it’s
okay for the first versions.#1: It shows no response for any request. all empty.#
2: There is no “Clear log” button to empty log. I have to do it from DB.#3: Requests
are not sortable by time or id, By default, They are sorted by Alphabets + Endpoint
url. So i need a lot of scrolls to jump off 127.0.0.1 requests!Thank you very much!
Hope my comment can help you for future updates.

The first version had bugs, but the developer fixed them and now it works excellent.
It is the most complete plugin to analyze outgoing traffic.
