Plugins

Every Axle plugin, grouped by the job it does. All free and open source.

Moving and deploying

For the hours when a site is moving, copied or changing under you.

Read-Only Mode

Freeze the site during a migration or deploy. Visitors keep reading; nothing written gets lost.

Use it when you move the site to a new host.

Staging Guard

Stops staging copies from emailing real people or getting indexed.

Use it when you copy the live site to staging or to your laptop.

Update Rehearsal

Try plugin, theme, core and PHP updates on a disposable copy in Playground first.

Use it when an update could break checkout, a form or the theme.

Smoke Test

Checks your key pages after every update or deploy, finds what broke and which plugin broke it, and rolls it back.

Use it when you want to know a deploy went fine before your client does.

Config Sync

Keep site settings in git as JSON files. See what differs from the live site, and apply a chosen set with a preview and undo.

Use it when settings drift between staging and live.

Category & Tag Trash

Keeping a site healthy

For the slow, quiet problems nobody notices until something breaks.

Block Doctor

Find invalid and broken blocks across the site and fix them in bulk, with undo.

Use it when the editor says a block contains unexpected or invalid content.

Block Theme Ops

See Site Editor changes that override theme files, diff them, reset them or send them to Git.

Use it when the theme in Git and the live site no longer match.

Leftovers

Find the tables, options, cron events and folders deleted plugins left behind, see who owns each and why, and clean up with undo.

Use it when the database is full of tables nobody recognises.

Runtime Doctor

A site is slow and the host says everything is fine. Often the cause is runtime config nobody checks. OPcache is on for WordPress but skips wp-content. OPcache memory is full. A Redis drop-in quietly falls back to memory because Redis is down. The PHP branch gets no security fixes, max_input_vars cuts off a big menu, or WP-Cron is off with no real cron behind it.

Use it when the site is slow and the host says everything is fine.

License Tracker

See which premium plugins and themes are licensed, which lapsed, which stopped getting updates, and what renews when.

Use it when you look after sites with paid plugins.

People and access

For who can sign in, what they can do, and for how long.

Agent Governance

Hold risky AI agent calls for approval, preview what they change, and roll back a session.

Use it when you let AI agents work on the site.

Learn more about Agent Governance

Role Right-Sizer

Recommends the smallest role each user needs, from what they actually do.

Use it when too many people are administrators.

Security, AI and review

For what your site sends out, and who gets to see it first.

Review

Share drafts through private links. Reviewers without an account leave feedback that lands as block Notes, right on the block they meant.

Use it when a client needs to review a draft without an account.

AI Guard

Since WordPress 7.0, any plugin can call an AI provider through the WordPress AI Client, using the API key you saved under Settings > Connectors. That is handy. It also means a chatbot on the front end, an SEO tool in a cron job and a helper you forgot about all spend from the same key, and you cannot see which one sent what.

Use it when plugins on the site use your AI key.
