Description
This plugin provides a simple but powerful function for developers and site administrators. It automatically captures critical PHP errors (fatal errors, parse errors, etc.) that would otherwise take your site down silently.
Instead of having to check server logs, you receive an instant notification via a webhook to a service of your choice, like Slack or Discord. This allows for immediate action and faster debugging.
The setup is minimal: just add your webhook URL on the settings page, and the plugin takes care of the rest.

FAQ
-
What is a webhook URL?
-
A webhook URL is a special web address provided by services like Slack, Discord, or Zapier. When your WordPress site sends a message to this URL, the service receives it and can post it, for example, in a specific chat channel. You can get this URL from the settings of your chosen service.
-
Does this plugin affect my site’s performance?
-
No. The plugin only runs a very lightweight check at the very end of a PHP process, and only if a fatal error has occurred. It has no impact on the performance during normal site operation.
-
Which error types are reported?
-
The plugin reports
E_ERROR,E_PARSE,E_CORE_ERROR, andE_COMPILE_ERROR. These are the most critical errors that usually cause a site to stop working.
