The problem
WordPress tells you how to delete a plugin. It does not tell you the consequences.
Removing a plugin can erase blocks, disable shortcodes, stop scheduled jobs, break endpoints, orphan data, or leave behind tables and settings. This tool scans for those dependencies and cleanup risks before any change is made.
What it does
Focused. Not bloated.
Six practical capabilities, organized around the one job this plugin is meant to do.
Runtime connections
Check post types, taxonomies, cron events, scheduled jobs, REST routes, AJAX actions, and active-code references.
Stored data
Inspect options, transients, metadata, roles, uploads, custom tables, and uninstall-cleanup attribution.
Impact Meter
A 1–10 score and red, yellow, and green rules prevent a serious finding from being buried.
Plain-language findings
Explain what could be affected, what remains, what to do, and how confident the scanner is.
Resumable scans
Use bounded phases, batching, cancellation, locks, expiry, and verified state persistence.
How it works
A controlled path from evidence to action.
- 01
Select an installed plugin you are considering removing.
- 02
Inspect content, runtime registrations, stored data, dependencies, and local source evidence.
- 03
Prioritize findings and convert them into an honest overall impact range.
- 04
Review the evidence, plan cleanup or migration, and make the removal decision yourself.
The boundary
The scanner never removes anything.
Database queries and local source reads are read-only. Administrator permissions, nonces, plugin allowlists, canonical paths, and hard scan limits protect the process. Incomplete coverage is reported instead of being disguised as reassurance.
