This simple plugin creates a \/health<\/code> endpoint to let you monitor the status of your WordPress website. The endpoint tests the status of your database connection and returns a 200 OK<\/code> HTTP status code while your page is healthy. You can read more on HTTP status codes at the Wikipedia article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

External tools such as website monitoring services can access the exposed endpoint at regular intervals. This can help you verify that your WordPress website is performing correctly.<\/p>\n\n

You can find more information about the Health Endpoint Monitoring Pattern<\/a> at the Microsoft Azure Documentation<\/a> website.<\/p>\n\n
