Introduction
WPHammer is a WordPress operations platform for teams running sites on Laravel Forge. It brings server health, site management, backups, security scanning, uptime monitoring, and deployment workflows into a single, calm control center — so you spend less time switching between tools and more time keeping WordPress installs in good order.
Who WPHammer is for
WPHammer is built for agencies, freelancers, and internal teams that manage multiple WordPress sites across Forge-provisioned servers. If you already use Forge for server provisioning and want a purpose-built layer for WordPress care — inventory, security, backups, staging, and monitoring — WPHammer is that layer.
How it works
WPHammer connects to your Laravel Forge account through an API token. Once connected, it syncs your servers and their WordPress sites into a unified dashboard. From there you can:
- Monitor server health, disk usage, and uptime across your fleet
- Track WordPress core, plugin, and theme versions with inventory collection
- Run security scans and manage vulnerability findings
- Schedule and restore backups — daily database snapshots, incremental file backups, and time capsules
- Create staging environments and push changes to production
- Deploy sites with a structured pipeline of ordered steps
- Detect visual regressions with canary monitoring
- Generate and share PDF site reports

Deployments
Define deployment pipelines with ordered steps, clone sites across servers, and track deployment progress.
Backups
Configure scheduled backups, incremental file backups, snapshots, and time capsules. Restore from any point in time.
Security
Run security scans, review findings by severity, match known vulnerabilities, detect abuse, apply remediation, and manage suppression rules.
Monitoring
