External Services & Data Privacy

SitePulse uses an external service to provide enhanced features including PageSpeed analysis and AI-powered diagnostics.

🔗 External Service Integration

SitePulse communicates with api.sitepulse.me (operated by the plugin developer) to provide:
– PageSpeed Reports – Google PageSpeed Insights analysis with performance scores, Core Web Vitals metrics, and page screenshots
– AI Diagnostic Reports – AI-powered performance analysis and optimization recommendations
– Remote Management (optional) – lets your SitePulse dashboard show this site’s backups (UpdraftPlus or BackWPup) and its plugin, theme and WordPress updates, and start, cancel or set up its backups. It stays off until you turn it on for the site in your SitePulse dashboard, and you can block it in SitePulse’s settings.

📊 What Data is Collected?

To provide these enhanced features, SitePulse sends only performance-related metrics to the external API:
– Plugin names, versions, and slugs installed on your site
– WordPress hook execution times and memory usage
– API request URLs and response times
– Site domain name
– Performance statistics and load times

🔒 What Data is NOT Collected?

SitePulse is designed with privacy in mind and does NOT collect:
– ❌ Personal user data (names, emails, passwords, IP addresses)
– ❌ User content (posts, pages, comments, custom data)
– ❌ Database content or sensitive information
– ❌ Customer or visitor information
– ❌ Any personally identifiable information (PII)

🔁 Remote Management

While Cloud Services (PageSpeed & AI Reports) are on, the site checks in with api.sitepulse.me every hour, and every 5 minutes while remote management is on. A check-in sends the SitePulse and WordPress versions, which backup plugin is active, whether remote management is blocked on the site, how WP-Cron runs there: the address of wp-cron.php, whether WP-Cron is turned off and how long scheduled tasks have been waiting, and whether the site’s own server can reach its wp-admin, as the plugin’s hourly check found it: the HTTP status of wp-admin and the login page, how long they took, when it checked and, when they failed, why (a timeout, a connection error, an HTTP status or a PHP fatal error, with the first line of the error message, up to 200 characters).

Only while remote management is on, the site also sends:
– Plugin and theme names, versions, whether they are active, their auto-update setting and available updates
– WordPress, PHP and database versions and the site language
– Backup schedules, how many backups are kept, storage types, the result of the last backup and the dates and sizes of recent backups
– Events when plugins, themes, translations or WordPress are updated, a plugin is activated or deactivated, the theme changes or a backup finishes
– Page speed figures from SitePulse’s profiler: once a day, the time plugins, themes and WordPress took per page load the day before (with the five slowest), and after each update, the updated item’s time on the full day before and the full day after it
– PHP fatal errors in SitePulse’s error log: the first line of the message (up to 300 characters), the file and the line
– How far a running update or undo is: its step, the backup’s progress and the item it is on

While remote management is on, the dashboard can also:
– Start or cancel a backup, and apply backup settings saved in your dashboard (schedules, how many backups to keep, which parts of the site to include) to UpdraftPlus or BackWPup. It restores a backup only when you undo a safe update from the dashboard (see below), and never deletes backups or changes where they are stored.
– Update plugins, themes and WordPress, on request or automatically under the site’s update policy (by default security and minor updates, three days after release, between 1 and 5 am site time). Updates run through WordPress’s own updater, so they come from WordPress.org or a premium plugin’s own updater, never from api.sitepulse.me. Each update is preceded by a backup and followed by a check of the home page, wp-admin and, with WooCommerce, the cart and checkout; a plugin or theme that breaks them is rolled back to its previous version.
– Run a safe update of one plugin or theme. First the plugins (or themes) folder and the database are backed up with UpdraftPlus or BackWPup; without a backup plugin there is no backup. SitePulse’s screenshot service loads the site’s monitored public pages (the home page by default) just before and just after the update and compares them. If a page changed a lot or stopped loading, the dashboard offers to keep the update or undo it. With an UpdraftPlus backup, undoing restores that folder and the whole database to the time of the backup, so anything saved since (such as orders, comments or form entries) is lost; otherwise it reinstalls the previous version from WordPress.org. After an undo, WordPress’s own automatic updates do not install the undone version again, for 90 days or until a newer version is installed.
– Turn WordPress’s own automatic updates on or off for plugins and themes.

Remote management runs in WP-Cron, which WordPress only runs when the site gets visitors unless a server cron job runs it. So while remote management is on, api.sitepulse.me requests the site’s wp-cron.php, at most once a minute, when the dashboard has work waiting for the site or the site has stopped checking in. That request sends no data; with ?sitepulse_check_in=1 the site checks in during that run instead of at its next scheduled check-in.

Requests are signed with the site’s SitePulse license, or with a key the dashboard rotates for remote management; the license key itself is never sent. Remote management never sends backup files, passwords, storage credentials or site content, and SitePulse never installs code from api.sitepulse.me. Turn on “Block remote management” in SitePulse’s settings to stop it on this site at any time, whatever the dashboard says.
