Works like a charm, just enter your API key and the site is automatically detected,
performance metrics are integrated & neatly displayed. Love this integration!

I’ve been a fan of OhDear! monitoring services for quite a while and now I don’t
even have to leave my WordPress environment to see how my site is doing. This plugin
provides me all the necessary information in one overview so I know immediately 
if something is off. And the graphs are looking really awesome.
