Modules Insight

Audit installed plugins, assess PHP upgrade risk via the WordPress.org API, and export full reports as JSON or CSV.

How it works

Modules Insight tells you which plugins are likely to break before you upgrade PHP, so you can fix problems on staging instead of discovering them in production.

Install

Key benefits

  • Saves time before a PHP upgrade — instead of manually checking each plugin's WP.org page, one click queries the API for every installed plugin and gives a prioritised risk table. On a site with 20+ plugins that's hours reduced to minutes.
  • Gives you a starting point, not a guess — the Low/Medium/High rating tells you where to focus your staging testing. You don't treat all plugins equally; you investigate the High ones first and smoke-test the rest.
  • Works across PHP versions — the target version dropdown (8.0–8.4) means you can plan ahead. Upgrading to 8.1 now and 8.4 later? Run the check twice and compare.
  • Safe to run on live sites — completely read-only, nothing runs unless you press Scan, and results are cached so it doesn't hammer the WP.org API on every page load. No risk of disruption.
  • Exportable evidence — the JSON and CSV exports include the compat data, so you can hand a client or a hosting team a concrete report showing which plugins were assessed, when they were last updated, what PHP they declare, and what risk level was assigned. It turns a conversation into a document.

Who it is for

  • WordPress developers
  • Agencies maintaining multiple sites
  • Teams who need to mantain and/or upgrade websites and applications
