The herbarium.
A deliberately small, well-kept catalog. One plugin is in the ground and available today; a few more are in cultivation. We’d rather grow a handful of plugins properly than ship a shelf of half-tended ones — quality over quantity, every time.
A live wp-admin dashboard for your server and WordPress stack — CPU, RAM, disk, SSL, domain expiry and a scored health diagnosis.
Page-load and query profiling that points to the slow plugin or query — caching and TTFB read in plain language, not a flame graph you have to decode.
A scored hardening checklist with safe one-click fixes — file permissions, headers, login surface and config flags, tightened without breaking the site.
Scheduled, verified snapshots of files and database to your own storage — and a restore you can actually trust because it’s tested, not just taken.
Managing self-hosted WordPress and missing a tool? Tell us what would make your server easier to run — the best ideas get cultivated next.
How a specimen earns its plate.
An idea has to grow through every stage before it ships. Until it clears them all, it stays budding — off the shelf, still in the ground.

01
Seeded
A real problem for self-hosted WordPress — something an operator actually fights with on a live VPS at 2am, not a feature dreamed up to fill a roadmap or chase whatever the market is hyping this quarter.
-
02
Tended
Built to wordpress.org standards and tested the hard way — degrading gracefully on shared hosting, behind aggressive CDNs, and with shell functions disabled, so it never once assumes a perfect server or a generous host.

03
Hardened
Clears a full security pass before it ever ships — SSRF-guarded outbound probes, connection keys encrypted at rest, a capability check on every action, and absolutely no telemetry baked into the free build.
